Colin asked Pete

did you cut them yourself


No he didn't, I had them laser cut by Belair, a great deal of time saved!

Next stage is to cut through the stringers, sheeting and formers to release the top hatch.

Bottom springers glued in place, ready for sheeting. once the fuselage is fully sheeted the cross members and diagonals will be cut out leaving a nice clear area for the fit out.
The nice cigar shape of the vampire is really comming to life :woohoo:
