| This is the plan. The folds are a pain but I can live with it as I'll be cutting it apart to build the wings. Now I'm concerned about the wheel size. On here they measure 1 1/2", the included Guillows plastic wheels are 1 3/4", and using the 1/72 scale plastic kit as a reference, they should be 2 1/8". WTF?? It looks like a long road ahead... |

| I glued a piece of 1/16" styrene to the fuselage to be a support for the landing gear doors to be glued to. The nose gear is finished and the door will be glued in place when I get a wheel added. |

| The formers are mounted on a "beam" of 1/8" balsa, not this stick, and the stringers are then glued in place. I'll be cutting the center slot in the formers inside the printed lines and trimming to fit with the xacto blade. |
