| FYI, 190 fill pieces needed. |

| Insane. Poppy, I know from your previous builds that you use Elmers white glue for plastic to balsa, do you lightly sand your plastic pieces to get that shine off for better adhesion? I did try that but found it can easy be pulled off. Is there a secret to your madness? |

| No secret. Just let the white glue dry for 24 hrs. |

| Thanks. I always use small amounts of Tester's plastic glue and I'm always worried that it will melt the plastic. I'll give the white glue a try at let it sit as you mentioned. :) |

| Looks great. Boy that looks tedious. Would it not be easier to skin it in 1/32 sheet? |

| That rear deck sure has the line of a Razorback. SHARP!! |

| Mr. Wilson, it probably is quicker to use sheeting, which I did use on all my models prior to the Hurricane. This is just another method I wanted to try. Fill takes a lot more time and work, but the final results have been well worth the effort. |

| I may try it myself at some point. The fill method is certainly a nice way to go about it. |

| How do you judge how high the panels need to be above the stringers? |
