Default RE: Learjet .40 Build

I fiberglassed the wing joint last night. It didnt come out as nicely as I would like but oh well, its not going to be seen when the wing fairing is put on anyway, its strong and thats what matters.

I started cutting out the plastic engine nacelles and tip tanks and couldnt help but tape them in place and take a picture to see what how it looks with them in place.

Im suprised that the only thing that holds the flimsy plastic engine nacelles on is a little epoxy on the inner half of the engine nacelle and one tiny screw on the outside half. Seems like the weakest parts on an otherwise very stout design.
