Made some clips up for the struts and got them fitted. Doors still need some tweaking. Cheated on the wing fillets. I used a kids play clay. This stuff sets a little spongy, easy to sand and very light. Took a couple of days to dry though. Still needs a final skim with filler.

Thin ply was way too expensive, so i used this 1mm wood strips on the fillets, added some triangle formers on the top.
Doors look fairly flush with the wing. And the landing lights got fitted. Been a busy boy today. Time for a well earned tipple!!!

Got two coats of sanding sealer on today. Started to tissue the cowl.
What a nightmare! Getting the tissue on without creases is a challenge. Thinking about silk for the rest of the body and the rons. The wing might just get another coat of ss and a couple of poly c.
