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.
