Yippee! What the postman brought

The plane was originally covered with Monokote, I had to buy a roll because I damaged one wing while assembling. Dark red maybe?

Did you use the included hinges or upgrade to something else? I’m don’t have any experience with these CA hinges.

I used DuBro pin hinges. And while we're talking Staggerwings, I have these plans stored above the workbench might just build it some day, the plans show working retracts, 80 1/2" span, would be a nice size model. Had a GT80 that I though would make a good speedster but donated to the club auction to help with the grass cutting.

Very cool! I haven’t seen those before. I have several others including a layout which is designed to be scaled up to whatever size one wants to build.

I picked up a cute little Kurt vise (3") today. Well packed, kudos to the seller.

Looks like it was gas bead blasted? Nice.

Adapter for new spray gun arrived. This device allows me to use 3M PPS cups. Both the gun and the adapter were ordered within minutes of each other last Sunday. Gun arrived on Wednesday from the UK. Adapter arrived two days later from Florida. Too funny! Of course if SpraygunsDirect would have had this particular size adapter in stock, I would have ordered it from them.
