Hard to see in this pic, but this is a little detail that lives under the upper rail inside of the inner cockpit area skins:




And jumping ahead, 6 skin parts complete the fuselage center section. I was hoping for that magic Halinski fit here, but it was not to
be. I must have left the formers a little too big. I tend to cut on or outside the lines and I hardly ever sand them by default.
Magnified by scale, I was left with skins not nearly meeting up. Luckily I did a bunch of dry fitting on the outer skins! So I pulled
the inner skins back off, dremel sanded the frames a bit, replaced the inner skins with regular card stock instead of the thicker
bristol, and fought it every step of the way. It came out OK, but it was not pleasent! there's a bit of a registration mismatch visible
hear near the back, but it will (I think) be covered with wing fairing.
