 J-3 Cub Construction Project Session #38

38 J-3 Cub Laminated Rear Window frames Complete

This morning I removed the left rear window laminated spline from the template and it came out just fine. I cut, trimmed, and sanded the spline to fit inside the fuselage structure and integrated the new rear window frame into the left side of the fuselage structure as shown below. Replacing these two rear window frames took extra time, but it is worth it to have the problem corrected.
 
I cut and beveled some 1/16" dowel to length and glued in the two front fuselage braces as shown below.
 
Now I have started working on the dummy engine cylinders. The laser cut parts for the four dummy cylinders are shown below. As you can see, I have used the part to assemble the first cylinder.
 
This picture shows the first dummy cylinder assembled and glued together. Any suggestions for what kind of black paint to use to paint the cylinders, main wheels and tail wheel?................Tandy
