Marked the areas to be cut away while preserving the overall formers and shape of the forward fuselage.

Seeing that the fuselage was pretty much already framed up, I didn't want to cut away too much of the formers/bulkheads. If I did cut away the formers, then there would be nothing left to support the outside covering. So, I decided upon a crazy idea. You can easily see from this sample what I'm about to do.

When in fact, closer views will show the exhaust supported directly to the crankcase just under the valve cover

Initial observation shows the exhaust supported directly to the valve cover via short tubes.

Added just a simple coat of olive drab. Most of the area surrounding the machine gun trough will be covered.

Rough cut on the ply sheeting. Read in a British publication that soaking ply in ammonia helps to temporarily break down the adhesives inside the ply rather than soaking in plain water for hours on end.,

Had to temporarily suspend adding the immediate section in front of the cockpit and jump ahead a bit to prepare the machine gun "trough."

Just after all the hours of carefully fitting the ply, I discovered that I would not be able to sheet the next section of the fuselage under the machine gun. Soooo
