thanks guys for all of your warm replies, Starting to look like a Lanc, Okay build update for now I will post another this evening starting with the huge wings each wing panel is 23 inch,s long from wing root to the tip. Starting with the left wing panel I first constructed the spar and and ribs for the wing made from heavey card stck like that of light cardboard in pregenated with ACC glue to give it additional strength to support the heavy wing loads.Next I cutted out the landing flaps printed on the left wing panel The flap wells were installed to the upp0er skins of the wing sheeting. Then I folded over the wi8ng skins and cementecd and let dry over night. Next I burnished out the wings to straighten them out over a flat true surface sont want the wig to look like a propeller. no warps cin the wing panel Happy Happy Happy, After all that I constructed the two landing flaps by adding thier wells and ribs then i installed same to the bottom wing. The wings are made to be removable for transportation for moving or going to model shows to save room in the car so the the wing is not glued to the fuselage the two center spars that go through the fuselage are made from balsa. tonight I will build the right wing panel and the flaps then go to the merlin engine nacelles.
