By the way it looks great so far. I really interested in how the frame coverings will fit.
I've also considered gluing a strip the right color as an end cap on the frame. I used to do that to balsa aircraft prior to papering. It provided for a much more rigid structure and help prevent warping. Basically it changes a cardboard sheet to an 'I' beam. James J. Hairston 8559 Birch Creek Rd.

Saddle Tanks 2 _____ Trimmed out and glued up the Right Hand saddle tank pieces. Each tank is made up of 19 pieces. Putting them together they are a little fiddly, but in the end glue up nice and strong. I tacked the formers together with a small drop of CA glue, followed by Elmer's PVA. This works well when the pieces fit a little loose. Mine did because I cut the cross openings a little wider than they should have been. The long, horizontal formers are two-pieces each, held together with slats. Thanks for lookin'!
