Default RE: Phantom from scratch

Coming together nicely now. The wings are made and joined, filled and just need sanding before tissue covering and doping. The fuselage is joined and the engine bearers drilled. Fire wall with the undercarriage is fitted. Not in the pic but the bell crank has its wires fitted ready to install.

The tail is ready for covering and having the hinges fitted. Not sure yet if I am going to use small rc hinges, tape, or sewn. The control horn is a small rc one. The fin is the only part that is only cut out and had no work done on it. The fuselage top block is rough carved to shape.

The tank will be next to be built and fitted followed by the cowl.

Taking into consideration I am building a medium sized rc model as well, things are coming on well.

Looking for ideas on colour scheme now.
