I was wondering who would be the first to say it looked more like a boat or rocket or something!

Colin, it would be some sort of torture cutting all the slots for the stringers :ohmy:

Had a good afternoon strip sheeting the fuselage bottom. It was a bit challenging at times as the 1/8 balsa sheet is a tad too hard and not very forgiving so I reduced the plank width from 5/8 down to 1/2 and sprayed it with water to soften it,much better.

Fuselage planking complete, leave to dry overnight and tidy up edges,give the fuselage a good sand and then on with the next stage.

Judging by that ....285JPG image you may need to saw off that fin first, it's in completely the wrong place!
