Overall look at the etched sheets. This is for 1/2 of the plane. the final will need two of each sheet. The horizontal stabilizer is a multi-piece laminate that will be sanded to shape. Everything else is pretty typical for a balsa plane.

The dash panel with the instruments laid behind. I need to enhance the detail so there is more contrast.

†he results off of Frwyflyr's lathe. Believe it or not, this was the first indication for me on the actual size of the model. Up to this point, everything was done on the computer, so I didn't have a good reference of scale in the actual world. The tanks are about 7 1/4" and look like the pins from an old Skittlebowl game. The wood for both the tanks and nose cones is jelutong.

Drawing details for the fuel tanks. Both the nose cone and tank drawings were sent to Frwyflyr to turn on his lathe.

Closeup of the sheet. I intended for the wheels to have relieve via a deep etch. On this sheet, the balsa is only etched on the surface. If they can't deep etch the wood, I'll switch to plastic for some of the parts. That's what I used to make the engine fins on my Piper.

Well I tried using a glue stick for the first time, and the covering did not come out very good. It lifted and wrinkled pretty bad so I removed all the covering and started over using my traditional method of 50/50 Elmers and water. Now the covering is without wrinkles.
