I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

The front half gets C1A, C6A, and C7A added to both sides as well as 1/16" square stock to both sides of the four ribs nearest the fuselage. SteveM Guillows Series 2000 - P-38 Lightning Build 26-Dec-13 20:24 Views : 1107 In step 4 add all of the 1/16"x1/4" rib cores to the front half and 1/16" square pieces to the rear half. Note that the 1/16"x1/4" pieces run right across some openings where it doesn't belong, cut those out later after the parts are shaped. SteveM Guillows Series 2000 - P-38 Lightning Build 26-Dec-13 20:20 Views : 1108 Here is a comparison of my "step 3" to a completed rudder-fin SteveM Guillows Series 2000 - P-38 Lightning Build 26-Dec-13 20:19 Views : 1131 The instructions for building the elevator-stabilizer are fairly good, but for the rudder-fins simply say "build in a similar manner" which isn't particularly helpful so I will try to elaborate a bit. What you see here is step 3, the first step is to trim your sheet wood parts to fit the templates shown at the top of this photo. Step 2 is to join C1-C2-C9B, C6-C7-C8B, and C3-C4-C5-C8A-C9A together flat on the plans. Here in step 3 you raise those sheet wood assemblies up 1/16" using shims and glue on the vertical 1/16"x1/4" main spars with a 1/16" shim in the gap for the hinge. SteveM Guillows Series 2000 - P-38 Lightning Build 24-Dec-13 15:58 Views : 1164 The movable scale elevator-stabilizer is built and ready for shaping. Progress has slowed lately for family gatherings such as my grandparent's 70th wedding anniversary. poppy Guillows Series 2000 - P-38 Lightning Parked 20-Dec-13 11:48 Views : 1207 Wishing all Very Happy Holidays. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview SteveM Guillows Series 2000 - P-38 Lightning Build 14-Dec-13 15:56 Views : 1171 The stringers are now on the wings. I think I'll wait to sand to shape and join the halves till after I've constructed the "action plan" details. SteveM Guillows Series 2000 - P-38 Lightning Build 12-Dec-13 00:39 Views : 1233 The wings are ready for stringers. SteveM Guillows Series 2000 - P-38 Lightning Build 08-Dec-13 21:57 Views : 1253 I decided to go ahead and add the stringers and the parts to support the wing before moving on to the wing construction. I really enoy putting stringers on laser cut models because of how accurately cut the notches are. SteveM Guillows Series 2000 - P-38 Lightning Build 07-Dec-13 14:40 Views : 1128 The nacelle and two fuselages are as far along as I can get them before adding the stringers. I'm torn between building the LG before adding the stringers and adding the stringers now and trying not to break them while adding the LG later. SteveM Guillows Series 2000 - P-38 Lightning Build 02-Dec-13 22:58 Views : 773 I was unable to confirm this detail on existing build logs here at the VA. If you are going to build the rudder-fins per the "action plan" then you have to put a 1/16" square piece across the end of the fuselage like this. When I glue the keel down it will be to the top of the 1/16" square piece. SteveM Guillows Series 2000 - P-38 Lightning Build 02-Dec-13 22:55 Views : 669 One half of one of the fuselages is nearly done. This is no small model!
