    That is the true shape of the original drawings that was used to make the drawings for the model. That one of the reasons it was difficult to get everything square, straight and parallel.

    Running out of things to do while trying to acquire windshield material. I thought I can cover the bottom of the plane with causing any problems. So have most of it covered just the front but I will leave that till the windshield is in.

    Changes made and a new template made. It took a few tries but this one looks good and all fits. But I do know that when I get my hands on some windshield material I can continue.
