And, once again, work shuts me down. I did manage to get the sponson insides cut down to scale depth so they at least will look right. Now, when I get the chance, I get to make a pair of doublers for the sponson insides so that I can correct the size of the airtraps as well as make them the correct thickness. The plans call for 1/16" thick airtraps when they are supposed to be 1/8". On the full sized boat, the airtraps are actually 1" thick. I now also get to start reworking the sponson frames to get the shape of the sponson bottoms correct. That said, I'm so glad I did all of this rework on the gas Madison while resizing and cutting out the parts
