Thanks for the comments and compliments.
Tim, that's the hairspray once again.
What will keep it off the contest table? I can't get a photo that shows it but the cable that have one end at the fuselage on the bottom wing... 4 each side... 3 out of 4 each side popped off at least once and a couple several times. The CA was starting to build up and make little blobs, a couple of seams that needed some attention.. a Modeling 101 basic. And a total brain fade on the elevator. Got it all weathered and the tube frame shaded for some depth (pic below).... but should have painted it blue first and not noticing until it was pretty firmly glued in place. As for the not unhappy... how thew wood turned out.
