Central wing section - 2

Next is wrapping the wing skin around the internal frame. There is not much information how to position it properly but after a bit of fiddling with the parts I found the correct one. The edge of the front spar needs to align with the front edge of the wheel bays. As you can see in the pictures, I doubled the protruding center pieces as they will certainly knick otherwise during handling.

First glued the underside and added pieces of scrap paper to reinforce the backside of the skins. Then carefully fold the wing skin around the leading edge of each of the formers and while working backwards, glue along the wing profile formers and the trailing edge.

Note that before gluing the upper wing skin sections, the wheel bays need to be finalized from the inside. Here and there the parts didn't fit properly and needed correction and paint touch-ups (Tamiya sky grey fits the color print best).

Then, trial fit on the fuselage, but where to exactly position the central wing section is a question mark. Something to ponder in the coming week....
