I started fitting together the wing internals today.

Everything looks okay so far.
It seems to be what I had planned.
So, I am moving forward.

The old P47 kit required you to assemble the wing internals on the fuselage.
My new wing internals aren't any different...just more parts to put together.

You have to install the main spars through the fuselage, and then fit the
ribs and braces and wheel wells.
And once its all glued together, the parts are locked into the fuselage.

I don't see this as a problem?
As long as your fuselage is completed to the required stage.
Only thing I don't like is you have to handle everything during assembly.
It gets a bit tricky...like you need four hands!




I glued up one side...and then I got to thinking,
if this is all okay, why waste the formers, and wheel wells (and cockpit)
on the white build?

I am ready to do up some coloured skins (because the fuselage is sorted),
so maybe I will pull out the wings, before I lock up the opposite side
and put all these parts into a colour build.

I can pull out the cockpit and Tail Wheel box too.

Anyway, this is the glued up side of the wings, with the new wheel well in place
along with a whole set of braces.
