Default RE: 1/6 Scale F4U Corsair Group Build

Alright gentleman, I'm back and ready to get back to work on Corsairs! I ended up being in LA all week, not getting home until about 2 AM Saturday morning. I may have to go back one more time this week but only for two days if I do. I will post some pics of the job we did up there when I have some, you guys may get a kick out of it. We built a pretty slick slot car track for a vintage race car collector and installed it in the warehouse where he keeps some of his full size collection. Anyway, I need to take stock of where I left off with the tailwheel drawings and I will get back to making kits right away.

Great progress on your vertical fin and rudder Danny and I hope you enjoy your vacation. See you when you get back!

ORIGINAL: Remklep
In the second photo you can see I added some scrap balsa to support the 1/64"ply, had I not added the balsa, there would have been a gap below the 1/64" ply...
These pieces, which frame the trim tabs, are supplied for the elevators but not the rudder as they are easily made from 1/8 balsa scrap. (Which is called out on the plans)
