here are some pics of the fuselage sides. this is short becase i wrote someting very extensive and my session timed out and i don't even know if i could write all that over again. abufletcher i'm very glad you think the home etching is very cool , i do too. as far as i know there are a couple of larger company's out there that do etching but from my research it's incredibly pricey and to my knowledge there is no company that can produce small brass, stainless steel or copper parts at an affordable price for us scale modelers so maybe there is a market for etching, i mean there is a ton of laser cutters that work plastic or wood but no etchers. maybe i can help you with your etched parts, will talk more about this in the future. when both fuse sides are done i'll post some close-ups off the anchor fittings and how they sit between the longerons and verticals and also the bends in the 1/4" dowel were very difficult. i went through 11 sticks before i found something that worked and that was boiling for an hour and working it slowly around the curve with a heat gun.
