Deltie Airshow Gliders Finished

 I finally managed to sit down the past couple of evenings and take some permanent markers to the three Deltie gliders of this build.

Since this is an 'Air Show' model, I decided to render them in red, white and blue.

The bottom sides of the delta wings are solid blue to provide greater visibility during gliding flight.

On a whim, I also painted on some cockpit canopy windows, and applied a silver Sharpie finish to the nose of each glider.

All that remains is to tote them out to a nearby park and do some glide trimming operations.

Also on the build docket is finishing up the booster vehicle for these babies.



This should be quite a fun bird to fly under power.

Stay tuned.....
