Re: Improving the CC Wimpy..

Hworth18,
What did you have to do to pop the nose off the bird? (I presume that is what you did?) Could you briefly outline the steps?
You did a really amazing job. Thanks for posting the pictures

The Welly came apart rather easily. There were 4 screws I removed on the bottom of the fuselage (there are 6 but 2 hold the leigh light assembly in). The front greeenhouse top just popped off with a little pressure, but the bottom of the greehouse nose is rivet inside the fuselage.. What I couldn't remove, I masked off, and sprayed everything with a medium green which is a little darker than RAF interior green, but I wanted things to stand out..
