The stringers are all in place. Overall length is 26 1/2 inches. With the nose cone added, it will be about 28 inches overall.

Starting to make notes to myself for changes to parts and the drawings. These are half size prints on 11x17 paper.

Test fitting the wing root. I'm starting to find a few pieces that need minor adjustments, and some that need major adjustments.

The preliminary cockpit and front landing gear and air brake areas. A bit more complicated that probably needs to be. I may simplify the construction.

Overall look at the etched sheets. This is for 1/2 of the plane. the final will need two of each sheet. The horizontal stabilizer is a multi-piece laminate that will be sanded to shape. Everything else is pretty typical for a balsa plane.

†he results off of Frwyflyr's lathe. Believe it or not, this was the first indication for me on the actual size of the model. Up to this point, everything was done on the computer, so I didn't have a good reference of scale in the actual world. The tanks are about 7 1/4" and look like the pins from an old Skittlebowl game. The wood for both the tanks and nose cones is jelutong.

Drawing details for the fuel tanks. Both the nose cone and tank drawings were sent to Frwyflyr to turn on his lathe.
