I'm well into construction - basic shape is complete. It's pretty BIG! There are some unique details on this item, but I'm close to the point of covering the rudder structure, and the vertical tail is also shaped, and looks good. It is a lot like building a modern surfboard - I realized early on that I'm no metal smith.
Today, I chased down some materials to make a fiddly bit or two, which will be challenging. Aircraft fittings will be a challenge as I don't have ready access to examples, so I'll have to beg and borrow some - but so what else is new? Working hard to prep for the Warbirds over the Beach event.
