Added some silver for the windows. Now it's time to start stuffing it.

Looks great but needs the green house windows on top of the cabin area.

Your correct. May try it but it will be difficult. The guy that brought me the plane had at one point wrapped the center section of the wing with a strip of fiberglass cloth. Not sure what kind he used but it was impossible to try and sand smooth so it was all I could do to get the green to lay down over top of it.

Bolted on stabs, glued in rudder control horns and mounted rudder, mounted tail wheel, tossed out pre- installed tank, put in new tank, and fueler, installed elevator servo's. I haven't put arms on servo's as @emtp275 is going to teach me programming. All that's left is mount firewall, engine, exhaust, install pin flag switch, servo arms, pull-pull, an balance. Got to try out my new wing bags, buddy made for me out of Harbor freight moving blankets, just need a place for wing tube.

I was on RealFlight late this afternoon flying a helicopter I had downloaded from the swap pages and decided I really liked the color scheme. That got me thinking, which is always dangerous. So tonight I started fixing a broken canopy that I'm not using anymore from my Trex 550e so I can paint it in a similar scheme.

I had done a quick repair with CA and glass cloth on it before so I could use it for the test flights after I fixed the heli after the crash. So, the first thing I needed to do tonight was clean off of much of it as I could. After that I added some new glass cloth with resin. Tomorrow if I don't go flying I'll start some body work.
