A dry fitting the wings revealed a host of issues...big, fat trailing edges being one of them...that sort of thing bugs the hell out of me. The top wing half tapered down nicely enough, so I decided to scratch some flaps, to pose open (I LOVE IT!!!). I also added shims along the wing roots (on fuselage side) to help the wing/fuse joint.
Back to the others, while this one dries.
yeah... why settle for the simple solution of sandling the trailing edge to an appropriate thinness...
That scratch work looks great sir!
