Getting the F-84 ready to tow out of the paint shop!

Thu Jan 19, 2012 9:36 pm

By next Thursday we hope to have to F-84F ready to tow outside for some final work. We should be able to finish some touch-up painting and then outside to work in the sun. Frankly I am looking forward to being outdoors after having to work in the hangar during the winter. The past few days I have been working on the plexiglass and for that I have gotten some excellent advice from The Inspector and others. I will need to breakdown and buy a Novus kit to finish up, but I think the following photos will show the improvement:

This will be an ongoing effort, but I am feeling better about it.

Thankfully our next project will not need any canopy work other than cleaning years of desert sand.
