Thanks J.W. !

Here she is … and it’s absolutely miserable weather-wise here, so no primer coats expected for awhile!

Looking good.
Makes me want to open up my Super Scorpius kit.

No, I used the kit-supplied balsa. I’ll use basswood on an upscale.

scigs30,

As you may recall, or maybe not, … you turned me on to Brodak Sanding Sealer

I ran out of thinner, so I have been using good old (and relatively cheap) lacquer thinner.

Hi Lee!:

That is one SLEEK Scorpius! Might try to have to make one of those myself. I have some SIG sanding sealer I want to try on balsa.

Sincerely,
J.W.

Lee,

I do remember and glad to see you still have some left. Unfortunately Brodak is no longer selling their sealer so I have been experimenting with making my own.
