With my pride scarred over my second dropped model this year, I focused my efforts on the re-build and made the YF-17 airworthy again. All the dirt and debris have been sanded out and now the airplane looks as though it was never dropped. I had to completely redo the paint job starting from the beginning with the flat black accents. Those were masked to allow the silver to be sprayed on. The decals were applied last night with no issues. For the weathering, I outlined the panel lines with a pencil and brushed on Future for a nice sheen. I will let it dry overnight and start final assembly tomorrow.
A great recovery!

I would have been saying some choice, specially selected words for dropping the aircraft.

It was more of a “I can’t believe that just happened” sick to my stomach feeling. I went from almost done to more work in a matter of seconds.
