One nacelle complete. The grillwork is very rigid and just test fitted. Will be permanently installed as one of the Mossies final details, probably in 2009 at this rate.

After all trial fitting and shaping, the 1/16" balsa sheet is glued into position to reinforce thin nacelle sides during glue up. Will also back-up any filler required. Thank you DD.

Nacelle on left after glue up, filler and one coat primer at seam. Right nacelle glue up only. Any trace of seam will provide stencil for panel line.

All covered, and two coats of satin Krylon. It's nowhere near a perfect job, but OK for now. How should I attach the wings? I was thinking of rubber bands, or magnets. Do you guys generally glue the wings on for free flight? What if something needs to be
