Thanks Dan and Rick!
I made some significant progress early this morning, wrestling the bottom and top deck of the fuselage into place. I'm not used to all of the little tabs, so it took me a while to figure that out, and somehow when gluing the bottom on I got a slight misalignment on one side, but it will be fine. It was lined up when I test-fit it, then must have crept out of alignment when glue was applied. Still learning! Here is where we are this morning, moving the ball forward again:
I hope things will move along more smoothly from here. I will need to make some modifications and tweaks to get everything lined up properly, i.e., the tail planes and rudder due to that modest misalignment of the fuselage bottom, and the front end radiator, but that should be relatively easy. I hope to get more done this weekend. I am anxious to get to those lovely Autumn Mottle wings!
Cheers,
Bob
