Default Before and after polish & vinyl
After 40ish hours of flight, it was time to finish the "cosmetics".
Shamefully stole the general design from a few other RV8's.

It's not perfect, hey, it's an amateur build and that's what I am...
One of the most difficult aspect of polishing must be to reason yourself and stop at a certain point.
It's an airplane, not a Cartier jewel...

It certainly passes the 6 feet test though !!!
I'll have all winter with less flying to improve the finish...
