Thank you CT, I had to deal with the "convertible situation" today...



I reprinted the center part of the wing , the wind screen and the cockpit side windows. I trimmed the the center part of the wing but still it was not enough.




I had to cut deeper the slots where it fits with the rear part of the fuselage, further trim the front part and extra work with the windshield... I think that the winshield should be slightly longer and the the center part of the wing shorter. It looks like how it should now but I am not that happy.



And that is because untill this point it was a sweet build , straight and easy.
If I was going to do this again I would enter the "Imroved Stock" category , make better wheels, add rigging and most importantly I would add a cardstock strip in the wing. This would make the wing sturdier and easier to work with the trimming and correct fit of the windscreen.
More to follow tomorrow
