Small update - not much time of late for modeling.  Top wing now glued on and engine, cowling, and prop test fited.  I had to enlarge the opening for the prop shaft.  You can see the Bob's Buckles rigging attachment for the front bracing at the top of the cabanes.  Still have to add that and the aileron lines.

Thanks again, guys!
Headed into the final stretch.  The landing gear was my least favorite part of these builds.  The struts needed trimming and the four separate ones were a pain to get aligned.  Also, I may have glued the forward fuselage bottom photoetch plate too far aft because the struts do not go in the holes.  Not too noticeable on the underside anyway.  Cowlings still not glued, then have to rig the landing gear and add the control wires.  Not much left.
Sorry for the washed out photos.
Drew
