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

I've been making index card templates of all the pieces as I go to build the second plane. These fuselage pieces are the ones I cut.

Stabilizer and rudder. The extra is laminated like pfinn did on his. I'm actual building two Eindeckers. One is almost straight from the kit. The other it's scratchbuilt in more of a scale display style. They piece in the middle is the bent piece under the cowl.

Here you can see that I've shaped the fairings behind the cowl. The picture quality isn't the greatest because it's s camera phone but you can see that I veneered the dash panel with 1/32 then sanded it down to ten thousandths before installing. I didn't want to see the end of the top stringers on the finished model. I have also sanded down all the burnt edges from the laser cuts for the same reason. It also trued up the edges because it appears the laser cuts with a slight angle.

Cowl is fitted to the fuselage. Area between is also filled with a formed piece instead of bits. the bend radius is the same as the cowl so it was easy.

The kit instructions have the cowling filed in with bits of 1/8 x 1/16. I decided to do it in one piece. This is a wooden block from my son's toy chest that has almost the exact radius required. The card stock is a guide to keep the balsa s square to the form. I put the piece in a bowl of water in microwave to stream it.

Fuselage is coming along. I've added cross bracing in the bays behind the cockpit top and bottom. Might add a little weight but at least it's up near the front.
