The stripes are masked over and the white 2k sprayed the results are pleasing, next I will recover the rudder with solartex and spray the orange on the fin and rudder, the lettering and registrations have been cut from vinyl and after application the whole fuselage will be sprayed with a high gloss clear coat.
Hard to see where the repair join is.
The red stripe was masked using a plastic tape from a automotive paint shop 5mm wide and can be stretched/curved and leaves a sharp paint edge.
The wording Flying Springboks under the canopy will be replaced with the word Celstar.
The canopy mould is screeded with a micro balloon mix and will be water-papered smooth. No paint until the clear canopies have been formed.
The new servo tray needs to go in but this will only be positioned if the clear canopy comes out ok and I go with a full scale cockpit.
More progress pictures next week.

And the building/repairing machine just keeps on working. I am always amazed at your work ethic Mike - wish some of your enthusiasm would rub off on me, but so far nothing. Still licking my wounds from the new year weekend at Volksrust.
Keep up the good work.
Glen
