Sunday I scrounged through my parts box and found a set of tailplanes that were the right size. Actually they were a little too big, which allowed me to sand them to the proper shape and size. I then spent the better part of two days filling, puttying and sanding the cockpit area.

Today I decided I would have to build the wings from special stock. A long time ago a company called Rosemont Hobbies produced vac kits under the name Roseplanes, and among their Roseparts line they made vacufored wing sets in different chords, so they could be used to fabricate wings for a variety of planes. This meant that they couldn't add rib markings, so I'll have to do them myself. I purchased two sets of two sheets each, and have hardly touched them.
