Default RE: Royal-FW190A8

so I finally got to fitting the door skins to the wing

after removing the tape at the inboard section, the area where the wheel is, and then tracing the outline of the balsa sheeting,I removed the last piece of tape so I could see what I was working with, the pre bent balsa had a nice curve and matched the wing well.

I then took my gear bay opening template and lined up the opening and made some reference lines so I could transfer the pattern onto the sheeting,I also traced the pattern on the wing to check how much trimming the opening needed as well once the pieces were cut out just a few small adjustments and the doors fit perfectly and had a nice curve like the scale plane this is the first step in making the doors but so far there nice and light and I am happy with the fit.
