Thanks Rick, in hindsight it is probably a really minor issue, but I do like to get thinks fitting neatly. I will "soften" the edge before covering and see how it looks then either add spackle or microballoons to fill any bigish dents.

In general i have found the fuselage and belly pan parts to be ill fitting. In fact the belly pan stringers (part 18 I think) while they matched up in length were 1/16" different in width. Lots of sanding of parts, especially around the firewall and belly pan areas.

I will post progress photos's later, but I have completed the firewall box and landing gear rails and added some reinforcing tri-stock behind the firewall.

When doing the fuselage build you need to keep aware of several steps in advance and trial fit before gluing. One aspect where I would differ from the instructions is to glue in the ply landing gear rails before fitting the firewall box bottom. This would allow greater ease of rail fitting which when the box is complete requires a degree in gyneocology.
