for Arthur "Payne" Whiteway
I
could have done a better job cutting out the area for the -3 aft
windows. The fit was quite good in the kit, however the wing
required some adjustment. The lower front protruded forward of the top at the
firewall.
I removed material from the aft edge of the wing until I got up to some
engraved detail I wanted to keep. Perhaps I should have removed
some material from the fuselage at the rear.
I had to
sand just a bit at the front edge where the cowl will fit, and had to
add a little filler at the top front of the wing leading edge.
