With the undercarriage parts shaped, it's time to start dry fitting the skin. We start with the cockpit portion:
I made the cockpit fit by removing the pilot seat and fitting the cockpit to the formers, then putting the pilot seat back in. Doing this also pointed out my mistake - the pilot seat is pitched too far forward. Oh well, it's glued down at this point and nobody will notice.
With that problem situated, I glued the undercarriage to the bottom of the plane. It's a pretty good fit, though not perfect. Here are the bomb bays:
Not perfect but I can work with it. Here's the top skin shaped and put together:
I'm starting to do things "out of order" a bit and decided to work on the stabilizers after the skin. Here's a teaser of the instruction for them and the parts:
That's all for today
Once again I'm pretty behind on posts but that's okay! I've made loads of progress on the plane in the meantime
