after further looking at plans my first "cut" at where the bare part of the fuselage would end is wrong
i've attached a photo with my finger pointing to the point on the kit cockpit frame where the fabric covering will end
it looks like the kit contains side detail, but not of the cross braces that define the cockpit
that will be fun
seat and gas tank will be outside on the ground
haven't decided whether to pull the instrument panel and put it outside as well
