Next to glue the side walls to the formers. Instructions say to wet the outside with water and glue to the formers using thin CA and accelerator. I have read on RCU that this step was quite tricky and that soaking the side walls first and then bending around a suitable tin (saucepan) made it easier.

Well I soaked the side walls in cold water for about 30min, don't think it made much difference to how easily they bent, certainly could not form easily to a 7 inch diameter tin.

Presented the sidewalls to the formers and doing a little at a time (using thin CA and accelerator just like the instructions said) was able to shape the sides to the formers. I went over all the joints with thick CA afterwards.

Fairly happy with the result, although the top of the sidewalla betwen former 6 & 7 has barreled a bit but I am sure that that will be addressed when the rest of the fuselage is built around it to hold it in shape.

Calling that a day for today
