Just a "teaser" on the painting, just some details and clearcoat to do before final assembly.
Indoors and mobilphone-camera, but the colours to the left in the picture is almost correct.

Jimbo has given me great service, and has provided all the detailed photos that i need.

Now , enjoying food, wine, family and snow for a few days.

Aaaahhhhhh! Therein lies the rub!

The difference between wives and aeroplanes ..... an aeroplane does not care if there is another aeroplane in your hangar!

I will take some better pictures and video when the spring is comming.

Regards
Viggo

Hi Guys. That sad day has arrived and I have been grounded by the medical fraternity.
VXA is for sale at R150K.

Hi All,

We shared a hangar with UFI at the time, and took it over when Marcus passed away. It is back in the air and will hopefully be seen at fly ins and events.
