Well the firewall is mounted. The wood kit comes with two 1/4" ply cut formers to glue together to create a 1/2" thick firewall. I opted to go ahead and custom cut a piece of 2mm CF and a piece of 1/8" ply to create a lighter version. The CF plate is laminated in between the 1/4 and 1/8" pieces of ply. I used CF strands to epoxy to the fuse. Once fully set up I will remove the motor and do the forward side. I don't think this will be going anywhere but I may throw some glass cloth at it as well. Installed the rear Servo tray former as well as getting a coat of paint to the interior radio area, cockpit sides and interior canopy framework. I used my small automotive detail gun. There is no paint on the outside yet it's just visible through the fuse.

Note: Behr indoor/outdoor Latex house paint (Flat) thinned 1:1 with windshield wiper fluid is without a doubt one of the best systems I have used for scale rc aircraft and will be using this method on this build exclusively. Drys super quick, it's fuel proof and will save you tons in the wallet. Shoot it with automotive HVLP guns or airbrushes for detail work.
