Default RE: Global Skyraider Repair

After I got the back spliced back to the front, I needed to fill in the gap where the fuselage side shattered (first photo). I think this was too much to just build up filler, so I glued in a couple of the pieces that splintered off the side. The second and third photos show gluing a parts in place and the “rough” look after they are glued.

The fourth photo is where I glued some wood in to replace the sides of the fuselage formers. With all the layers I have not, it may not be necessary. However, I wanted to help transfer stress from top to bottom.
The fifth photo is an inspection of the aileron servo mounts. I used double-sided foam to stick the servos on the plates before I screwed them down and it did a great job. Just to make sure, I ran a little bead of medium-thickness ca at the base of the hardwood rails.
