I didn't add the top gussets at the very end. I decided to add bracing on the underside of the framework in that area. I did install all other gussets as per plan though. On the two that interfered I just removed a small amount of balsa from the stab so it would fit firmly against the fuselage framework. Don't remove any more than necessary though.

I just finished adding the red, white and blue trim to my scalloped rudder this afternoon. Now that's a task that I don't wish to repeat anytime soon (:-). Looks good though.

My next "dreaded" covering task is the wing tip but once that's done it's all down hill. The rest of the wing and body will go fairly quickly.

Of course, now that I'm thinking about it,,, painting the pilot and machine gun isn't real high on my list either.
