Default House of Balsa FW190

Alright guys - I am brand new to Balsa building so bare with me =] If anyone has any experience building this kit - I would greatly appreciate some input. Just a couple questions involving the fusalage sides. These HOB instructions are somewhat vague!!! =] Thanks once again.

Can you be a little more specific about what your question is? []

Well on the first few steps you have to set up the fusalage siding. I can't figure if the doubler 3/32" ply and 1/32" ply glue over the 3/32" ply that extends across the entire fusalage side (kind of like another backing support). And also, this longer peice of ply - does this need to be trimmed for the wing spacing? My kit is either missing parts or I have to trim the peice.

I guess it kind of confusing if you don't have the kit. I appreciate any input - thanks!

I have no experience with this kit, but pictures may help with more responses. I am currently building a HOB P51. The 1/32" ply doublers fit well on my kit, you glue the doublers in place according to the plans, and trim the balsa to match the ply. I made the mistake of making two left sides. Pay attention upon making the second side. Hope this helps, as I have not seen the FW190 kit I am only assumming it is the same as their P51.

Good Luck
