Boy, after thinking all these years about how small a Piet is, now that I am varnishing the *@#% thing, I am not so sure. I am on my third quart of varnish and the end is nowhere in sight . . . whew!!The fuselage is about 3/4 done, and I just started on the tail surfaces today. I know this is a lot of varnish, but I am sanding between coats and putting a third coat on the high-use areas like the floorboards and seats/seatbacks, and on the panels which I want to look good. (polyurethane, semi-gloss)I'll be back at it all day tomorrow, too.Gene(starting to like the smell of varnish)________________________________________________________________________________
