Hi James, They said that they may set by themselves to a satisfactory condition, but may not. I put her out in to the sun again today just to see how bad it is ,and I am reasured that there wasen't as many today. but I will decide what too do on sunday after she sits outside all day in the sun. If there are only a few areas that are bad, I'll fix them and just plan on repainting the intire plane this fall. If this is the case please be kind with your evulation of her. I can hide alot of the defects with the placards,but not all of them. BTW The manager of the dead letter office in Atlanta is still trying to locate all the parts, I am very disgusted with them at this point.
