Default CA Models 24% Extra 300L Build

My CA Models Extra 24% Extra 300L arrived yesterday, and this thing looks phenomenal. This is my first quarter scale airplane, and my first kit that uses foam. Everything came presheeted; wings, tail surfaces and turtledeck are beautifully sheeted foam. Over the coming month or so (hopefully I can have it done that soon), I'll detail my building progress here.

The things I forsee being difficult:
-Cutting out the control surfaces
-Attaching the canopy
-Hinging - I'm going to use Robarts, and I've never used more than 3 per surface (a smaller model). This requires 8 or so per surface, so I'll be seeking help for those steps.

The cowl is gel coated fiber glass too! All for $189.00. Pretty great deal if you ask me.

Other than that, everything is laser cut, so I anticipate a smooth ride. Here's some pics!
