I like to attach <strong>the</strong> elevators to <strong>the</strong> fuselage and work on <strong>the</strong><br />

seams before I glue <strong>the</strong> fuselage toge<strong>the</strong>r so I will not<br />

crack a seam.<br />

I laminated .010 inch strips to <strong>the</strong> left and right sides. I<br />

<strong>the</strong>n carefully trimmed <strong>the</strong> plastic and <strong>the</strong>n sanded <strong>the</strong> seam<br />

lines smooth.<br />

While one side fits flush <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side sticks out and will<br />

require careful sanding to get it to contour into <strong>the</strong> surface of<br />

<strong>the</strong> fuselage.<br />

I use masking tape to protect surface detail while sanding<br />

and polishing.<br />

The fit of <strong>the</strong> separate fuselage part which covers <strong>the</strong> engine<br />

super charger needs attention.<br />

This step on <strong>the</strong> aft wing area where it attached to <strong>the</strong><br />

fuselage was a problem. Something was causing <strong>the</strong> wings<br />

to do this.
