Awesome!! I look at this and then at my 152 and my wings are so short (-C1) and I now feel completely inadequate. Thanks Brandon! LOL!! I really want to build a C-0/ C-1 and then a V-18 like Green KreationZ (Keith) is doing right now. I just so happen to have me a Hobby Boss V-18 in the stash. Thank all of you for the comments. Some say that these decal sets are like cheating but it doesn't matter much to me. These things rock!!

Its funny when you look at a 152H compared to a 152C, it like looking at an Albatross compared to a seagull

I've been working like crazy on the fuselage and wing seams and FINALLY......after a few weeks......I've got some black primer on this bad boy. I've just got the fuselage set on the wings right now because I've still gotta install the interior and the engine before joining the two. After that I'll have some more seam filling and sanding work to do but wanted to minimize handling the whole thing with the interior and engine installed. From there will be a gray marble pattern and then we're off to color coats. Just to show that I am still working on this thing, here is a picture of the current status of this build.

Man the wingspan on that thing!
Solid progress. Once you get the seams taken care of, I’m sure it will go much faster

406 Silverado - How about in a week or so, I’ll make us a thread on it. No rush. No time limit. I got kiddo #2 coming next month, so I’ll be off the bench for awhile.

Lookin' good Joe. Those fuselage and wing seams are always one of the hardest things for me. Especially that next phase when they meet... LOL

I've always liked the primer phase in an aircraft build. This is no exception! Well done.
Cheers Dave
