I'm in for this build Leroy! Look in my Gallery, I have an AMR third scale cub there that I built for a friend. It turned out fairly nice..............I think!
Keep up the good work. BTW, Careful about hardening with CA, It can make things brittle! Perhaps smearing medium along an edge instead of saturating it all with thin will be better.
Just a thought from experience. I have seen a Sportster 120 that was built with lots of thin and 'slathered' in sheeted areas. When it hit the ground, asphalt, we had to sweep it onto a blanket to get all of the pieces and then there was still a lot of 'dust' left for the rain to take care of! He thinned the tail feathers on to and they tried to fly in a different direction than the plane!
Take care buddy, look forward to what I will be seeing. If I may help, just ask. I always say that 'I don't know everything, but, I know everything else!' LOL
