Having been away from the project for well over a year, when I returned to it I found it had a lot of surface rust, so this week I have been arresting that and laying down a base coat for whatever comes next. In the case of the part of the chassis that shows and the engine bay, I will be doing a scrumble coat to create a faux wood effect. The original was ash. The top wood rim of the cockpit will be stained to match.
I have been talking to Copilot about the best ways to achieve that.
