Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

I finished all the planking on the right side of the stab tonight and sanded the right side of the turtle deck. Some of the stab planking was a pain, but it's on there. Tomorrow night I'll sand it and see how I did.

Looks really clean, nice job. I have done a lot of planking and you have some tough places but you nailed it.

Thanks!
I've found if I do a little experimenting with planking in different directions I can find a direction that doesn't take quite as much twisting or bending of the wood. That makes life easier.

With the exception on one plank down the left side at the hatch edge, all the fuse planks are on. I still need to sand last nights work, but it's starting to look like an airplane. After I finish that I'm going to fit the rudder and sand it to shape. Then I need to tackle the hatch.
