Some repair where the blue pin is will be required before covering. |

| The moveables back there will be separate, but not moveable. I spent many long hours making these things according to plans (earlier planes) and never played with them after they were hanging. Screw'em.
Thanks for the compliment. This is not an easy kit and I'm trying to make it less of a challenge for someone less experienced. Rest assured it will be much simpler in many respects than the plans. At least, in some areas ;-) It's almost exactly the same size, and construction, as the Mosquito. |

| BTW, also will mask the clear window areas so as not to scratch the surface on certain window areas that I will mount prior to covering. |

| Makes sense.Using the same technique for all the plastic on the Buff 24, of course after final contour is achieved. Didn't like the small lip revealed with dry shrinkwrap test fitted on the side fuselage plastic parts. |

| I tried to delete it....Duhhh!!! &&&&& aileron shape |

| Stationary ailerons... agreed, way to much work. Moveable surfaces on rudder and stabilizer... gotta have'em. Watching your work in progress... priceless. |

So far. The plastic piece has been cut to fit between the ribs and the wood below has been removed just enough to make it fit flush. |

Ailerons- my way, NOT per plan, and will not be separated from wing. |

Adding the dihedral (anhedral?) |

First step-wing |

| I just got this finished and haven't checked for the plastic fit yet but it will definitely require some testing first. I'll post a photo when I figure it out.
Masterpiece? Hardly, but the average for the 16 now here and built since Feb of 2006 is about a month. |

| How are you readying the front fuselage for the clear nose cone assembly. Trial fitting and shaping prior to covering etc, I'm at this stage with the Buff 24 and the plastic is quite unforgiving. |

| Dodge can make a pick up a minute, DD can make a masterpiece per week! |

| I'm using Testors wood cement primarily for this part. The tail piece is glued on with it and then with medium CA to secure it firmly. |

| Geeeeze, david, you are a fast builder. What glue are you using for this part of the construction? I like your idea of using scrap kit stock for filler. |
| David Duckett, Image # 3002 | 27 May 07 09:58 |
Basic fuselage before filler, tailpiece glued on and stringers matched to it. |
| David Duckett, Image # 3001 | 27 May 07 09:55 |
Using scrap as extra stringers |
