Thanks to all for your comments and encouragement. For the last couple of days I’ve been working on the one-piece upper wing. The unique wire-reinforced and ultra-skinny rib internal construction continues as shown in the first picture. The second picture is of the wing pre-closure, showing the underside with a slightly-bulged center section, presumably a fuel tank (extra capacity for those high-altitude missions, no doubt). This airplane’s ailerons were outboard of the wing itself, as shown on the finished wing in the third picture. I’ve been working on the “K” struts and cabane struts as well, but they’re not ready for photographs yet.
