My wife's best friend Bonnie is a highly accomplished ceramic artist. However, on this occasion she had her arm twisted to apply her skills to create aerodynamic intersection fairings in clay between the wheel spats and leg fairings and between the leg fairings and fuselage - hardly the most glamorous task and certainly not the best working conditions!I will then be able to lay up fibreglass over the clay to create then actual fairings. You can just see in the picture (click to expand) sections of aluminium sheet let into the clay which will create a gap in the back of the fairings allowing them to be slotted over the legs. Many thanks Bonnie!
Just when this was underway the gentlemen from thesign and graphics company arrived with the pre-cut vinyl for the aircraft registration lettering and the graphics. This has completely transformed the look of the aircraft however by the time they had finished the sun was in the wrong place to photograph the aircraft properly so pictures will have to wait until tomorrow.
