One nacelle complete. The grillwork is very rigid and just test fitted. Will be permanently installed as one of the Mossies final details, probably in 2009 at this rate.

The plastic becomes mighty thin at the edges after sanding. Look close, the tabs were wonderful alignment strips and provided more area for glue up at seams. Priceless.

After all trial fitting and shaping, the 1/16" balsa sheet is glued into position to reinforce thin nacelle sides during glue up. Will also back-up any filler required. Thank you DD.

Nacelle on left after glue up, filler and one coat primer at seam. Right nacelle glue up only. Any trace of seam will provide stencil for panel line.

Don't mind the skewed left LG, nothing glued permanent. Learned that long ago. Screening to be used for grillwork at wing root/ fuse connnection.

Low tack scotch tape holds nacelles parts together for trial fit. Light Coor's holds Moostang together to get this far. Quite the gonad breaker.

A different look for the Mossie. Black belly and red numerals told me this is the one. After the Lib, stay away from stripes.

DD, you were right, a real PIA to make wire work as Guillow's suggest. Two hours of planning and a little improv provided great results. Second one will be a breeze.

While the pilot seat dries to shape, some gauges, controls and initial wiring harnesses are installed. My fat, twisted carpenter fingers require the use of tweezers and needle nose pliers.
