Thank you Edo. This is next:

I've cut the wings to shape:



I made the balsa core a little too big, so I'm having trouble getting the join between the top and bottom skin to stay closed. I may have to give up and fill it instead

I also made the rudder last night:

I made the fin last night and taped the rudder in place for fun:

This is really art to scratch a model in that big scale! I like the way of working and the outcome.

Good news that this one is back again! I hope that you can sort out the wing problem soon - the rest of the flying surfaces look really good.

The wing looks like it will come good. The skins are firmly attached to the balsa core with double sided tape so they are stable. I filled the gap and gave it a rough sanding, it's looking good. A bit more filler and time and it should work

Only, I fell off a ladder, gashed my hand and arm and severed a tendon in my left hand, so things are on hold for a while

   Wow Richard, you certainly don't approach injuring yourself lightly! That sounds like a very serious incident, best wishes for a complete and hopefully speedy recovery.
