My big stumbling block is the plastic parts.. cowl, windscreen, etc.

As to applying the tissue it's a real artform. Ill try to post some of my tips and tricks when I get there.
The main thing is lots of little pieces on the curved parts, a soft pencil, and an xacto blade... a NEW one.

But thats down the road a bit.

Im going to try to get the wing finished, set the diheadral and get it off the board this weekend.

The stabilizers go together fast. So its starting to come together.
