Not a great deal to report here, got most of the main fuselage put together. I was having a bit of difficulty getting the bottoms of the fuselage section seams to line up smoothly. I moved on to the wing, and will then see how things line up when I look at joining the two together.
This Nobi model is a bit different from ones I have worked up in the past. The wing is put together entirely separate, then joined to the fuselage. In the past I have built the wing frame, then glued the wing sections on by either starting with the rear bottom or the rear top of the wing, then gluing it on a small bit at a time, wrapping it over the front and then to the rear of the wing.
This has had varying degrees of success, as sometimes my inaccurate cutting makes me have to sand down the wing frame some to get a decent fit. This time I am gluing the rear seam of the wing partially, then sliding it over the wing frame, then gluing. We shall see how this works.
