Some work left on the fuse before attaching wings and tail feathers: open tailpipe, cockpit and somehow sant the inside of the intakes smooth. Haven't figured that one out yet.

Little raise on the side to make the stringers shaped to fit better. I think it was Ray L. who first explained it. It works.

Straightened it. Reinforced th spine and filled in the nose. Lots of filling and sanding to go. From here the front former for the intkes goes at the blue line, then blend in the intakes. So far, so good.
