| As you can see, this picture of the real S.E. 5 in the museum reflects my original observation of the more squared off appearance of the front end. This photo will also serve as a reference for the underside of the top wing detailing and for rigging as well. |

| I carefully cut the bottom keel and lowered the profile to reflect a more accurate profile if the real aircraft. I am aware that I'll have to cut out new fuselage formers to reflect the enlarged forward portion of the fuselage and this is to be expected. I'm keeping in mind that at this stage of planning, I'll be taking this model to a different level of detailing that is more than what the original kit calls for. |

| As noted from my previous posting of Guillow's drawings of the fuselage profile, this drawing of the real aircraft shows a more "boxy" squared-on profiile |

| Looking at the instructions, I noted that the bottom of the fuselage tapers upward from the landing gear to the nose. I compared this drawing with those of the real aircraft and noted the real aircraft had a more "boxy" squared-on profile. |
