Here are the rest of the finished products from this week:

Squirrel Works - Red Baron
New Way Spacemodeling - 4 Square
Semroc - VF-261

The Red Baron was stained with MinWax stain and left to dry for several days under some heavy books. I think it turned out pretty good even though there was some overspray when I painted the white parts on the top wing. For my first glider, I think it "tosses" well, just have to see how it does on the field.

The 4 Square is one I built a while ago but never painted. Finally settled on an orange and black scheme. I just need to find my decals so I can finish it up properly.

The VF-261 was an interesting build but pretty fun. The wing/fin configuration is unique, and the small launch lugs on the wingtips were a great touch. I didn't try to do the little nosecone tips for them, just settled on painting them an opposite color from the wings. I didn't feel like trying to match the cover art but I think it turned out pretty well.
