Chino,

excellent work! In order to keep the model light, make sure you watch the wing and stab sheeting. If you can, use very light 1.5 mm balsa, you should end up at 5 lbs or lighter if you're lucky. I would also cut the fuse sides from 1/8" light balsa and use 1/32" ply doublers or their metric equivalents. Once my fuse top front sheets were carved and sanded to shape, I removed the assembly and hollowed it out. This might be necessary on your model in order to fit the fuel tank comfortably up front next to the FW. In other words, use rubber cement on those three sheets when building so that you can remove it and hollow it out.

Oh, I would also use laminating epoxy rather than contact cement when sheeting. I believe it is lighter.

Just a couple of suggestions,

David.
