Default RE: Sig 1/3 scale Spacewalker

Started completion of the fuselage. Also the engine piston was polished and reassembled. I put some truse reinforcements in place; I used CA hinges cut with little tabs to tie the structure together. The top front of the fuse was built and sheeted. The center sheeting went on without a hitch. The left side was a pain; The wetted sheeting would not let the glue setup quickly. For the other side I edge glued the dry sheeting to the center with CA gel and then wet it with paper towels. When softened I the spead Titebond under the sheeting and taped it down. This method worked very well.
