T-16 "Luba"

[horsa]

Hey Sean,

Looks like you are off to a great start. Have you done anything yet with the engine you picked up in Texas?

If you sand down the hull where the TD markings are located before sand blasting, you'll probably find a second set of markings. Seems they used a white self etching paint and it worked its way through the top coat, primer and into the metal on two T-16s I've seen including my own. Usually they will be higher on the hull and were painted prior to the wading skirt squares being welded on which required new number locations.
