Default RE: ziroli duantless build 09

do you ever get to the point of a build when you feel like you've been working on this plane forever and it just never seems like youre getting any closer to the end?? Well that's where I'm at right about now, I feel like this fuse has been in the same state for an eternity!!!

Well I spent the past couple of days working on the wing saddles, what a piece of work. I started by widening the saddle by 7/8 of an inch at the trailing edge to make them more scale like. I took measurements off of a 1/32 scale model to get it right. that meant I had to change the curvature of the formers slightly to accomadate the larger fillet. after much fiddling, planking, and sanding I got a couple of really nice wing fillets. I still have to add filler and sand to the final smooth shape, as well as finish the section aft of the wing. Heres the pics
