![]() 5080 forum posts 129 photos | well i didnt take a break for long. started sheeting the front section of tyhe fuselage with some 3mm Depron.
hopefully i will save enough weight to make up for all the 3d printed bits i will be adding later.

![]() 5080 forum posts 129 photos | Why thank you Robert.
today whilst doing house hold chores i maanaged to start some upper sheeting. the section behind the cockpit has now been sheeted with some 3mm Depron. i added some strips of depron either side of each former to give more gluing area.
so tomorrow if i get time, i hope to add two extra depron formers to support the cockpit sides. this will be so i can add the opening door section on the left hand side. not sure if i want a full length pilot or only a half one yet, but i want to leave my options open for cockpit detail. Tony B. |

![]() 5080 forum posts 129 photos | well the panel was too small, so i had to re print it slighlty larger.
that looks better. i will need to add the instrument details next. due to the design of the model, i needed to cut two slots in the balsa sides to get the panel to sit low enough. i also trimmed the top of the sides down to the level of the balsa stringers to give me a little bit more cockpit room.
guns tomorrow i hope.

![]() 2717 forum posts 1019 photos | Great panel, Tony. I can see that you printed the gunsight already as well. If you allow me, the plan states that it's position is 1/2 inch to the right side of the center line. I you want to, I guess it's easily corrected at this stage of your build. Coming together nicely. Cheers Chris |

![]() 5080 forum posts 129 photos | the gun sight was only plonked on for the photo. wont be fitted till all the covering and paint is finished.
