Just a quick update since this thread got bumped.

I am at the stage of sanding / shaping the parts now. Not much to show photographically really and its my least favorite part of construction. But I have worked on it some. I have a razor plane to help things along but it still is slow and tedious. Everything has to be in 'finished' condition before applying tissue because the flaws really jump out once its covered.

The fuse is mostly done however one of the first things you learn is to cover the wing first It takes the largest pieces of tissue and the scraps can be used for small secions of the fuse. Usually for a flat bottomed wing you can cover the entire bottom with one piece. The top not so much. So you start with the bottom. Largest pieces first

So maybe in a week or so I can get to the actual covering of the thing. Ill post lots of pics for that.
