Default RE: Sig LT-40 Build

The build is looking great, keep up the good work. If I may make a comment. One thing that happens sometimes when building an airplane comes when you start the fuselage. It's possible build 2 of the same sides of a fuselage, 2 right sides or 2 left sides. Here's a couple of tips that help prevent it. Pull out all of the parts needed to assemble the fuselage and use a marker to label them with a "R" and "L" on the inside of the parts. Then when you build the fuselage lay our BOTH sides at the same time, and lay them out mirrored from each other. I'm making the comment because I see only one side of the fuselage in your picture. And trust me, it's a lot easier to make this mistake than it sounds. Some of the best modelers out there have made this mistake (and yes, I have too).

Hope this helps
