Great Lakes 2T-1A-2 Rebuild Diary

I have now progressed to the coloured dope on the upper wings. Two layers of white and a third layer mixed with Y9910 Universal Retarder - this is to slow the drying process as it gives a shinnier finish.

March to 03-April-09

April has just arrived and I have now progressed to top coat. Not sure how many pictures I will post at this time as I would like to keep the finished design and colour a suprise for when my Lakes is more complete.

March-2009

The weather here in the UK has killed off any progress with the covering of my Great Lakes since December - it's now March and I have been able to get back into the workshop and start work again on the fabric work. As it's mainly spraying silver, more silver and some silver I am not planning to post lots of similar pictures!

This is my restoration project diary for 2008I will update it almost daily to show the project status. I have the STC#SA2368CE and the El Dorado Zepplin Drawings for the center section mod and plan to fit it after approval from my inspector and LAA. I am also looking at the Split Cowl STC#SA00123BO.
