Default First Ziroli build- Hellcat

I'm finally tackling my Ziroli after many years of building from other plans/kits. I'm two nights in so far and am really enjoying it. At first I wasn't sure what to think of the crutch method but I like it. Looking forward in the build, I do have a question regarding the belly pan. I realize it gets cut free after sheeting, but there is really no call out for shaping the pan to fit the curve of the wing. I was thinking of making a copy of the wing cross section on the fuse plan and using that as a template. Any insights?

Hello, you will enjoy in building and later in flying this model. I made two Ziroli Hellcats. First was little heavier 22,5 kg, but fly well with Evolution 80.
On second I take care about weight, so it was 19,5 kg. On that I use Zenoah GT 80.

More about my Hellcats you can see on my web site: www.nsmodelers.rs

I can also offer you Detail set, dummy rivets ans some other sets for scale finish on surface...

Regards

Mirce
