The Stearman is getting close to done!

I started kind of slow today, it was almost 11 before I got done on the computer. I went outside and came right back in for another shirt, kind of chilly out there yet! I had set a couple of things on the pellet stove lid that left marks or took the paint off so I sanded it out this morning. After Vera came home from bible study and we had lunch, it was off to town for some heat resistant paint. I got it sprayed and stunk up the shop so I went out and mowed while the paint dried.
After mowing and some left over pizza for dinner(Yum), I went out and got the new numbers for the Stearman done.
I have a small vinyl cutter that works pretty good on Ultra Kote covering. I had downloaded a font that matches what the military uses, so I typed in the new numbers, loaded a strip of covering and put them on. I have a few more small details I want to add, tail brace wire and some placards. Maybe some instrument panels also. This thing may be a work in progress for months.
This nice weather sure makes mowing enjoyable. After I was done with both lawns, I ran over our trails. Now that the leaves are falling I will probably have to do it several more times. Hope you got out in the sun even if it was to work like I did.
