I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

This is two coats of Tamiya hi-gloss brushed on. I gave up on the spray paint plan since teh propellants kept freezing up. I used a high quality wide brush and was very happy with the results.

Always the last thing to do is the underside of the wing. I wanted to assemble this section before I attached the wing but had too much trouble with alignment. The smear is acrylic with a light overcoat of sanding sealer. Not a good thing.

Mounted wing and used my Elmers wood filler for the wing-body fillet.

Just a rough fit to see how everything squared up and was very pleased. Right wing isn't finished just glued in place

I doubled the 3/32 stringers but will sheet in the leading edge. Entire botton is sheeted in 1/32. Merry Xmas everyone.

Now to start sheeting in the leading and trailing edges. A long ways to go.

Left wing framed to plan. After I finish the other side, I plan on sheeting the entire bottom and the leading and trailing edge of the top surface. The flap is thinner than the wing root, and I'll build that up a tad. Use 3/16 stringers IAW Dave Duckett style and will double up on the top side. It did add a lot of strength to the wing frame.

Pneling the bottom is pretty easy, lay down on a flat sheet and trace the outline from the top side. Cut, glue and add 1/16 reinforcement. The top side is more difficult, I added stringers to the inside of teh ribs to support the balsa sheet.

The white filler was from a new container and it went on really smooth, much better than my original can, which may have exceeded a shelf life of fifteen years.

Center section with cut-outs for the air intakes. I was a little off on the port side by one section, measure twice repair once, but thanks to Elmer's wood filler, I filled it in and it is almost perfect.
