| Aircraft after covering. I used the same materials to cover this as I did my Sea Fury; Top Flight Silk Span and doped with Eze Dope. |

| Top of wing. Standard construction techniques. One center section, and two wing outer sections with dihedral on the rib where landing gear attaches. Very straight forward construction. |

| Rudder/Fin and Elevator/Stabilizer. The plans call for a single 1/16” layer, but I built up the surfaces to give them a more scale look. |

| Fuse built. Standard construction technique with one half of the fuse on a board, laying up ribs and stringers, then removing and doing the other half. Radiator and front engine cowling is shaped balsa blocks. Note that the bottom of fuse is not completed until wing is attached. |
