Aero-3 restoration blog

Good evening,
I would like to invite you to see our blog about restoring a 1959 Yugoslav basic trainer, the Utva Aero-3.
Painting phase is approaching, therefore I thought it would be fun to follow it through the visually interesting bit.
You can find the blog here:

We are not doing this project commercially, but rather using it as an vehicle for stuff much more important then the aeroplane itself is. Take a look and you will probably understand,
Have fun and kindest regards from Slovenia,
Saso

Nice project and very accurate restoration! What type of glue it was used originally in this plane?

To be honest I never had heard about this plane before but it looks like an interesting project. Your hard work is shown at the images. Just keep at it even when interest slips away at times. Oh, it will as aircraft restoration project can be pretty frustration at times. :diablo:

Hi,
The blog is up-dated with some odd fabric work. Actually it is more of a trick, since I am talking about fitting for most of the time.
