While I waiting on P 47 to come back from painting, I was working on Zero.
I start work on elevator first. Like everything on this model, elevator is huge also, it have span from 117 cm!!!
I must made rear elevator part first, on which will come all ribs. That part is made from 10 mm balsa, and ply which come in the middle. For gluing I used white glue...
Than I glued middle and outer ribs...
On that ribs, in front, come 3 mm balsa plate, and after that all other ribs...
Balsa for leading edge is very straight...
In this stage I little change a plan, and add fir spars 6 x 3 mm...
Today I get spars. It's, like everything else on this model, so huge...
Spars are 20 x 10 mm, and 1400 mm long...
Today I will start working on wing. But before that, check this picture, wing is from my Ziroli jet F9F Panther...
