Formers and outer keel strip in place. Ready to come off and add other side. Onlt the forward and aft formers have notches for the stringers. The remainder have small laser marked centerlines indicated on the formers. If you look closely you can see them.

The wing and section of fuse it attaches to will be covered before the construction continues. I would do it tonight but at 9 pm it's still over 100. Tomorrow when I turn 68, it's predicted to be 112.

Nacelle blocks in place, L/G sitting in place. This is going to be like building 4 small fuselages. I think in the fifties the words "easy build" were not as important as they would be today.

I have added a circular former to reinforce the vacu spinner and added a .005 circle of plastic to provide a slight seperation between the spinner and cowling.

The wingtips are filled with balsa, which I think look better thank strips and paper.
