bit of an update  we had a bit of rust forming on the join between the front pannel and the wing. we treated the rust and flatted down an area.we also pre warmed the panel so the paint would go off quicker as we were at stanford the next day

 Once painted carried on heating it to force dry it. then peeled off the masking.

We ended up with second place at standford. when we were at minis on the rec we finally managed to get hold of some early speedwell gauges! Yay!

 I also a couple of weeks ago got hold of a later type speedwell rev counter as spares or repair as the redine needle was broken.
