Three years of fun flying and the (finally done) finish line is getting near. I put off painting for various reasons - mainly because I like flying too much, but it could wait no longer. I've had the airplane in the paint shop for 5 weeks and finally got to see some teaser shots from the painter.





I hope to pick it up next week.

Nice one Bruce. I put mine off for 8 years and had many of the same dramas you list on your building log. I thought I recognised the designer when I saw your pictures. Jonathan did my scheme as well. I've also had mine in the paint shop for 6 weeks and waiting to see the result. Looks like you are going to have a fantastic looking machine!

Default Pretty in Purple

I added a whole new folder of picture galleries documenting the Painting saga.

Here's the beauty shot with a bit of Instagram filtering.



It took two full days to get it all put back together. Now, I get to take it all apart again to do the annual condition inspection.

All of the credit for the design goes to Jonathan McCormick at PlaneSchemer.
