well, for anyone following this i'm sorry i haven't had much to post lately. i've been a little delayed by other things.

i'm up to adding the 1/8" music wire to the forward cabin area that supports the leading edge of the wing. this has caused more trouble for me than i expected. the wire is mostly prebent to fit; however, it still needs to be bent to follow the frame portion of the lower fuselage. it looks like i'm going to need some wire benders since i'm not having much luck with hammering it in a vise. i think you can see what i mean from the photos. you can also see how some of the fuselage frame is relieved to accept the wire. the wire on the right side of the photo is in place whereas the left side has yet to be done.
