<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">Continuing the build with the wing mounting, cockpit and top block. I have limited tools, so I hand-carved the cockpit out of a single block and then used some 1/32 sheeting from a USS Missouri build to finish it. </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">Pic 11 shows the wing mounting/taping screw holes.Pic 12 is the cockpit being shaped using two flat pieces of iron to prevent over-carving and ensure everything is flat.Pic 13 is the cockpit after the 1/32 veneer.Pic 14 is the cockpit glued in place and Pic 15 is the cockpit glued and the top block mounted.</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><span style="font-size: 9pt">Next comes the engine install which needs to be done before fuselage shaping. </span>
