I fill in between the stringer and formers with balsa it is an option in how to skin the sheeting only problem with the skinning if you choose sheet over the stringers and former with balsa will effect fit of construction making the model over size unless you trim the former undersize to compicate the 1/16th sheeting The best way is to fill in between the stringers and formers and use a filler to fill in any gaps prime the model and finish off with the final paint schedule.

thanks fellas for all of your replies Lucky13 finish up on your plate and get your black cat started like old Snuffy smith use to say TIME,S A WASTIN. You will have the other projects done in no time. Boats
Okat gang here is the straight dope, got the intire wing sheeted from midsection to the leading edge as the real PBY had the trailing sections is doped canvas copvering I will add extra ribs in between each and every rib previously installed as per kit build. While the wing is drying i am working on the wing float assembly and the float wells i will make the wing floats opperable. If the good lord is willing and the rivers dont rise toim orrow i will start the final covering of the wing useing silkspan tissue. Then lastly the engine nacelles assembl;y will follow.
