| Thanks. I owe a lot of that to you and others here whose builds I have studied extensively to see how they do things. Rainy days coming for the rest of the week so I'll get more done on the plane... |

Wing bottom planked and ready for finishing. If you look closely you can just see the wheel wells - covered now but will cut when ready to paint inside. |

Wings attached - fillets done - moveable surfaces temporarily hinged to test for fit. Real happy with the way the moveable surfaces came out... |

Tail surfaces just about finished. |

Wing pinned to check for fit. Fuse just about finished and ready for paint. One more coat of primer should do it. |

| Thanks for the info Dave. I'll give the wing covering a shot using your plan of attack. I feel I've learned a lot on my first three builds. Having fun as well. |

| Very nice! I think I've finally decided on planking from the leading edge to the top of the curve of the wing rib and from where the wing meets the fuselage to at least the first wing rib. Check my Stuka, Corsair, and P-40 builds. On these kits the bottom of the wing is flat so I don't plank that but I do add wood where something will later attach to. IE: rockets and bombs. I have planked the entire top wing only rarely and only on smaller planes although I am planning to do that with all the Diels kits since they are a manageable size. Planking the top front of the wing makes the entire wing look more realistic and planking at the wing root allows easier covering and a solid base to glue to the fuselage plus it provides support if fillets are to be added. Solid wing tips just simply look better because that's the way they actually are. I find that each time I build I encounter something I might want to do differently just to see if it works or what it looks like. Cheap thrills! ;-) |
