I got the flaps on. I'm holding on the weather til I finish the landing gear struts so I can weather everything at once. Here's a couple of pics, with some more shots at the link below (including some cockpit close-ups) enjoy

Very inspirational, if it wasn't for a couple of fairly large projects going right now. I'm tempted to whip that Hornet out of the box and start test fitting. Absolutely outstanding job on that Academy Bug.

The bug is looking great. can't wait to see her dressed out.... On suggestion though. If not too late and you have the option. A lot of multi engined A/C as the sit on the line the nozzels are in two different positions. the start up and A/B. I just throwing this out as an option to you for displaying this great model. Unfortuantely I can't find a referance pic to show ya, but am going by personal experiance alone, but will keep looking.
HTH and keep on plugging away on this great build
