Wow, the Wedell Williams looks great. Great job Trev.
She will look great at the evnets this year. Put that Moki in her to finish it off and she will sound and look perfect. I'll have to get the plane blessed before i take it up everytime. I better fill up the holy water jug. LOL. I think this bird will fly beautifully.
She will be a sight to see for sure.
Thanks again
Mark

Re: Finishing Thread - AMR Weddell Williams - BBT

I can't give away the painter's secret (truth be told, I don't know how he did it), but it looks amazing. It's nearly automotive finish with just the slightest hint of the weave. Cleanup will be a breeze.

I think this is my favourite finish of any plane I've seen... It looks and feels so scale.

Total weight added was only 1.6lbs. With all that surface area, I was expecting 3+ lbs.

Once the cowl comes back with the red/yellow scallops, I'll set it up outside for a photoshoot. In the sun, this plane will be absolutely stunning!!!!
