Surely, I missed some process steps in between. I can imagine a lot of wood was sacrificed to arrive at the finished version. I don't know this kit's history, but would you happen to know if the plans were hand-drawn or computer-drawn? Your pictures show a great deal of precision went into the kit. Such as the exact hole location for the pushrods.
Your project looks great on the build table. Glad to see that before gluing anything you think out its result. If anyone needed a step by step in building the Bonanza, you provide it well.
Lupe I've thought about the very same thing more than once in this build! Thank you for noticing. I have been pleased with how things have been lining up with just some minor tweaking here and there. If you take the time to build straight, as an example, marking and referencing the fuselage former's centerlines, things will line up and fit as its designer had intended.
