One small issue but it might be my own fault (card used to laminate frames a bit to thisk..)
This little part circled in red came out shifted about 1mm from where it supposed to be when I dryfitted the skin. Simplest solution was to cut it out and glue in correct place over the frame.
Tomorrow I'm planning to finish and mount the wings.

Finished and mounted the wings so the time came to install wing fillets.
This proved a bit tricky to get it right but I think result is pretty good
Here I decided to vary from the numerical sequence since it seemed to be more natural and easier to do it as follows:
1. Glue in place part 65
2. Form and glue part 66b
3. Form and glue part 66a
4. Part 64 will be installed after I finish fillets on the other side of the plane

Second photo shows general view of the plane at this stage - just coudln't resist to show off :D

Looking better and better Mike -- and keep up the pace! I'd like one for the to-be-built collection...
