In some places I put the joiner strips on the formers, so I would have just a tiny bit of tolerance in fitting the skin parts.
As i remember there is enough space, and you can correct it on the rim of the wing

Thanks billy! That info will be most helpful going forward.

You must make at least 5 more posts before you may post pictures. One post can be where you introduce yourself in The Welcome Desk subforum.

My circle cutter is very handy for those completely round formers

I'm just starting this model, how did you get the nose cone on the nacelle so perfect? I'm used to models with tabs for these kinda of shapes.


Also do you have a little help for where the round parts / separators get glued in at in the diagram?


Thank you!
