Mountings for fuel tank and throttle servo are done. The fuel tank is too close to C.G. so the impact of the full or empty tank will be insignificant.
The throttle servo is more forward, so the bar will be shorter and wonīt a hidrance to other stuff.

Today I decided to make a imitation of radiators in the oil coolers. I found very small-grained fibreglass net. Made a balsa radiator frame and glued one piece of the net from both frameīs sides. Now I thinking is I should other "radiator" to the rear part of oil cooler.

When I was removing the stripes on the wing, I found out that the black stripes are stickers. I thought that the same will be on the fuselage. But all the stripes on the fuselage (black, white and the last blue) are film. There is a big contrast between the colours, so not good for painting. Probably I will remove these stripes or all fuselage covering.
Rudder, stab and elevator are uncovered.

I must make a radius between the wing and fuselage, because there is a hole in the rear part of cowl. But these holes could be good for hot air outflow. But this out flow space I want to have in the belly around the chin scoop.
Cowl is particulary attached by small screws.

Finally the right wing and stab are covered. Maybe it doesnīt look it, but I used a HK solid silver film. Elevators and rudder are covered by solartex.
For those who doesnīt know what the solartex is... Solartex is covering film, which looks like a fabric.

Iīve already put the rivets on the top side of stabilizer. The botton part will be with preshading but without the rivets. I found good picture of the rivets details on the stab. But I put only seven lines of the rivets on the each half of stab.
