Completed some carving yesterday. No photo, but the vertical fins are glued to the horizontal stab.

Tail feathers are attached to fuselage and the engines attached to the wing. Some more sanding is needed before attaching the wing.

Thank you Gordon. I have decide to do just a single example in Trans Canadian Airlines colours.

First primer coat and final assembly.

Lou

[Gearup]

Very nice! I look forward to the TCA colours of the time. AirCanada still has a restored example and an A319 was painted in retro colours as well.

I wish I could do a shiny metallic finish but those buffed Alcad aluminum coats are beyond my skill level.

Lou

[lastvautour]

Final primer coat applied. Metallic silver in a few days.

Lou

Nearing completion with just windscreen to be painted and decals to be added.
