I don't usually cover my fuselage with silkspan, but this one I did. |

"Razorback". |

Fuselage sanded, coated w/1 coat of clear dope, filled and sanded again. |

| No working features. For me it's just not worth the effort. Been there, done that. |

| Very nice poppy. Will you be adding moveable flaps? |
| poppy, Image # 27580 | 16 Oct 12 05:48 |
L/G blocks added. Three stringers glued to the eddge of lower ribs will add airfoil to bottom of wing. I don't like flat wing underside. |

Wing frames finished and dihedral added. Tips will be balsa. |

| How do you judge how high the panels need to be above the stringers? |

| I may try it myself at some point. The fill method is certainly a nice way to go about it. |

| Mr. Wilson, it probably is quicker to use sheeting, which I did use on all my models prior to the Hurricane. This is just another method I wanted to try. Fill takes a lot more time and work, but the final results have been well worth the effort. |

| That rear deck sure has the line of a Razorback. SHARP!! |

| Looks great. Boy that looks tedious. Would it not be easier to skin it in 1/32 sheet? |
| julinick, Comment for image # 27533 | 11 Oct 12 10:31 |
| Thanks. I always use small amounts of Tester's plastic glue and I'm always worried that it will melt the plastic. I'll give the white glue a try at let it sit as you mentioned. :) |
| poppy, Comment for image # 27533 | 11 Oct 12 10:02 |
| No secret. Just let the white glue dry for 24 hrs. |
| julinick, Comment for image # 27533 | 11 Oct 12 08:23 |
| Insane. Poppy, I know from your previous builds that you use Elmers white glue for plastic to balsa, do you lightly sand your plastic pieces to get that shine off for better adhesion? I did try that but found it can easy be pulled off. Is there a secret to your madness? |

FYI, 190 fill pieces needed. |
| poppy, Image # 27532 | 11 Oct 12 07:28 |
Fuselage all filled, ready for sanding and filler. |
| poppy, Image # 27485 | 07 Oct 12 05:27 |
Floorboards and firewall. The plastic parts are glued with Elmer's white glue. |
