Thanks, Folks. This is a really nice kit so far and who will ever make a J-22 in this scale in plastic???!!! Who cares when we've got this little jewel.

Today I painted up the spinner:

Then I made the kit prop but I wanted it to be chrome and have more finished edges that didn't look quite so cut.

So, with lots of sanding and priming and more sanding and priming, I ended up with a passable chrome prop using Alclad Chrome. It looks nice and shiny and who can tell it's made of paper???

Next are the landing gear and wheels and then I can FINALLY start the actual plane with the cockpit! Can't wait.

Thanks for looking....Dan
