Then I marked where all the holes should be and cut them out.

And then, to finish the fuselage sides, added thin ply to the wing saddles.

Status: offline 		Some of the scale detail I want to include, is not included in the plans.
I want to include lighting, and the tailwheel isn't right...

Status: offline 		The solution for the tailwheel was to construct my own tailwheel bracket which extended out of the underside of the fuselage.
