Cowl is fitted to the fuselage. Area between is also filled with a formed piece instead of bits. the bend radius is the same as the cowl so it was easy. |

The kit instructions have the cowling filed in with bits of 1/8 x 1/16. I decided to do it in one piece. This is a wooden block from my son's toy chest that has almost the exact radius required. The card stock is a guide to keep the balsa s square to the form. I put the piece in a bowl of water in microwave to stream it. |

Fuselage is coming along. I've added cross bracing in the bays behind the cockpit top and bottom. Might add a little weight but at least it's up near the front. |
