Morning Guys,
I want to get all the cutting finished today so I can have a clean bench for the rest of the build.
Today another tricky bit of cutting, the speed brake apertures and nose gear doors, pics later

Your doing a grand job there Pete. I would be sh****ing myself cutting into a multi million dollar plane in case I made a cock up. :whistle:

Rudders hinged with Robarts glued with 30min epoxy. 1/32 packers to set the correct gaps and taped in place while the glue goes off.
