This is the drawing of the fuselage profile without any distractions. As you can see, the left side profile shows the bottom sweeping upward in a sharp taper to the nose as opposed to the more "boxy" appearance of the real aircraft. |

This photo will also serve as a reference for the underside of the top wing detailing and for rigging as well. |

| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 31-Oct-15 20:21 |  | | Views : 549 | | I carefully cut the bottom keel and lowered the profile to reflect a more accurate profile if the real aircraft. I am aware that I'll have to cut out new fuselage formers to reflect the enlarged forward portion of the fuselage and this is to be expected. I'm keeping in mind that at this stage of planning, I'll be taking this model to a different level of detailing that is more than what the original kit calls for. |
