Wings- part 2
The next step is to build the main landing gear wells. I added a wood dowel pinned with paper clip cut to length to support the struts later on.
challenge is to glue it in place and make sure it fits both the fuselage side cheeks and wing cut out. This was not one of my better works.
ready the parts
Now glue the wings on. Top first and then when dry, the bottom. I tried to fit bot seams, but the bottom side refused to cooperate for me and resulted in a poor fit.
both wings are on.
I had to cut out and move one of the gear wells as it was off enough not to fit properly. I don't know how the original designer managed to fit all the surfaces together perfectly. It is extremely complicated process.
Another observation is that the wing upper surfaces appear wavy. For some reason, the wing cross section and the internal framing/landing gear well did not match properly and I over pressed it onto the frame. Oh well!
