Funny airshow story, my aviation nut brother and I used to be like the first ones in on opening day. Well one year there was a B-1 scheduled to be at the event...we even saw it fly over a day before. When we arrived we saw it on the apron...with the crew ladder down! Well what were 2 aviation enthusiasts supposed to do, just walk by it and guess what what the cockpit looked like....?
Not us, we both grabbed the ladder and climbed on up, only to find in horror that the pilot and copilot were in the front seats asking us why we thought it was OK to enter! Before we could answer they told us to look quickly and go away.

I bought them both, partly because I would like a complete set of kits from WNW and also because of my interest in these very early and dangerous machines. I enjoy the subject more as the object or machinery than the person who flew it etc.
More faux wood work, I spent some time laying a clear coat down on the DH9 parts.

I prob should use a mask more but I hardly do any longer....I do have this heavy duty spray booth though.

Prob a death wish though, funny the mask is hanging from my vise in the lower right corner.
I got the term from cars guys, they would state that they "spray bombed" the body.
Pretty sure it's derived from an insect fogger and not an actual bomb.
