Very nice, I love how it looks without the paint on, Love seeing the ribs and all the hard work you put into the piece
 
Nice work Charles. I'll remember that candle trick when I'm painting pictures; being close to the canvas, and concentrated fumes, normally makes me feel thick-headed (no change there then!), so it should alleviate things a little.
 
Good to hear you have found something to relieve you of the fumes. Your health is utmost in this game. The covering is looking pretty good there Charles..

Oh... did I mention that I destroyed a whole sheet of tissue ? Got it too close to a candle and POOF ! I'm not use to working with two burning tapers on a small table. If anybody tries this, please be careful.

Thanks for the kind words, Guys....

Worked on the landing gear, today. Got the wire frames where I want them, now it's a little detailing with rolled tape. The wheels are just for show, they don't belong to the F3F.

Taking shape nicely Charles. When you mention rolled tape, is this to build-up the gear legs, to provide the 'bulk', or to provide fairings?
Not that familiar with this aircraft, so not sure what the gear legs should look like.

A little bit of both, Terry. The rolled tape is suppose to look like shock absorbers.
