I did make a bit of headway tonight. The Sprint upscale is sealed and primed, and I should be able to get the final coat of f&f on when I get home in the morning. If I fly this weekend, it's one of the birds I'm hoping to take along, so I decided on my tried and true paint scheme of white tubes and transition, two black fins and a flourescent orange fin. It looks great in my head.
The Nova upscale is next, filled & finished and ready for sanding. If I get ambitious, Jay's Scram Jet upscale is ready for final paint. It's all up to the weather, now.

Take picture before you go.

Just in case.

You know it. That's not even a lesson anymore. It's an expectation.

PATTY PILOT!!! I tried to e-mail you a couple of times in the last year. What's going right with you? Hopefully everything.

It's like building Liberty Ships - build them faster than the Germans can sink them, and you'll win the War of the Rockets!
