Now, this is how the right wing looks before skinning the last part of it.

 

 

The main problem with this piece is the curve it has to have. In fact it has to follow the shape of the fuselage.

 

 

Preparing the plywood for the left wing.

 

 

The top of the fuselage center section, with the aft tank.

 

 

These are the gluing strips just below the main wing spar. The purpose of these strip is to provide a gluing surface to the plywood that will cover the lower part of the airplane.

 

 

Here I am working under the Falco. I can't turn the Falco upside down since I would have to break the wall to get it out of my house, and I prefer to do that only when it's finished.
