Aircraft is still attractive.  Paint shows no sign of apparent corrosion, paint is relatively sound.  Any paint oxidation can be wax buffed to a shine.  Leading edges are rough and display wear from abrasion.  Touch ups and repairs are noticeable.   Small number of short cracks in cowlings and fiberglass are apparent.  Most windows display milky edges.   Several of the windows may display stress cracking or slight scratches.

Paint is OK, generally sound yet dull over half of the aircraft.  Small portions of the paint need special attention from chipping, oxidation or corrosion.  Majority of the windows is scratched.

Aircraft is in sad condition.  Paint is in poor condition, oxidized and peeling.  Airframe is in need of repairs to cracks, dents and corrosion.
