Hello

Thanks for the nice comments.

It is a 1 piece mid mounted wing with fibre glass belly pan that encloses the pipe. The wing is fully sheeted.

I had heard that the MK kits were good but I was very pleasantly surprised to see what was in the box. Each piece fits almost perfectly with no sanding. The skins for the fin are rebated into the fin post and I would guess that the difference in size is less than 1mm (1/32in?) even after years in the box. If you look closely in some of the pics you can see a orange/brown substance - it is rubber bands that have degraded to rubbery goo!

At this point I am planning to finish it with tissue and dope and then paint.

Cheers
Tarquin
