A little more done on this test build...

fitting the Tail stabilizer.
I never noticed but there are no markings for the cutout
for the horizontal stabilizer spar (former).
Not a big deal really, the position of the stabilizer wings is marked
and the spar needs to fit where there is enough room.

If I can get a measurement, I'll put a rough cutting location on the model.



...
also started putting the Wing root fairings in place.

Preform the fairing into the concave shape it needs.
Position the rear of the fairing, with the back end of the wing.
Glue it down, small sections at a time, working forward slowly
and easing it into shape.

Sometimes the front needs a trim, depending on how you got the
fairing to lay down.
This fairing is designed to wrap beyond the wing, under the fuselage
to help cover the seam between the wing and fuselage.

I've done these before, so they shouldn't be too much trouble.
(Although these are tricky on any paper model)
...and I have already glued them into the wrong position! lol
Thats what you get for rushing!

I'll leave them in place rather than risk tearing the fuselage,
but I think they should have been about 1-2mm higher on the fuselage.
