I finally found some time and managed to get the fuselage framed up.



Now it’s time to move on to the cowl and start fitting the wood blocks in that area.



One of the details I’ve always appreciated on model airplanes is having the spinner backplate sit with a nice, even gap to the cowl.



At the same time, I don’t like the cowl opening to be overly large, leaving too much of the engine exposed. I prefer a balance where there’s still good access to the engine, while keeping it sufficiently enclosed for a clean, scale-like appearance
