The Convair RB-36H


The wing root assembly was fitted in from one side.  This is possible because the assembled fuselage can still be flexed enough with the removed wing root
area and the open bomb bay on the bottom.  Earlier some material was removed from the fuselage where it mates to the bottom of the wing to allow the wing
to set lower.  A few shims were set there to keep proper alignment.  After tack glueing with super glue and a final check of alignment with the outer wing
panels, initial glueing was done with 5 minute epoxy and microballoons.
