Finish off and sand down.
All 4 fuselages on the table.
fuse 4 needs finishing off, but we are just about there.

Well today has been a mixed bag of nuts.
lots of housework to do, but i made a start on the first stab.
this is my one and it will be left open and covered with tissue.
the others are to be sheeted with 1/16 balsa, but i have not started them yet.
took a while to get my head round the plans and construction details.
