Just got back from playing parental transportation specialist and masculine provider of provender (Mm Ogg hunt wild In-n-Out Burger) so no further progress yet.

That other forum has a construction thread of the Skyline Claude. The wing was somewhat daunting, but turned out well. Not only is it elliptical (meaning joints fore and aft) but there is no wing structure outboard of the landing gear. None Zip Nada.

Just looking at my shelf and the last 5 models I've built have had spatted or trousered gear. Fly Karas, Marek's He 51 (BETA!), D.510 and Fi167 and the A5M. Add to that my career length (re(re))design of and A-8 and I guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

Less typing, more cutting, shaping and gluing.
Progress must progress!
