At the stage now ready to add primer and paint.
Above are the parts left separate for ease of painting, but here is the remaining details for backdating to the G-6/AS as well as improving some details:
Antennas on top were replaced with brass, as I have a bad habit of breaking plastic ones. The loop antenna should also have a flatness to it when viewed from the sides, instead of being a ring.
On the starboard engine side, the upper access cover needs to be removed, so a simple fill in here. The vent scoop on the clear canopy part also needs to be added - the kit part had this more to the rear.
I wasn't sure what type prop blades would be correct for this one. I have read that initially the thinner blade of the G-6 was kept (which really didn't take advantage of the more powerful engine), but eventually would be replaced with the broader paddle VDM 9-12159. I believe this the type provided in the G-10 boxing? Since this is going to be an inflight display, simple answer is to not use any.
The wheels up position required adding some sort of swivel detail to the upper part of the struts. The wheels themselves also had to be sanded for the doors to sit flush.
I've also embedded a brass tube into the lower fuselage to later accept a length of stainless steel wire for the whip antenna.
regards,
Jack
