Hmmmm... I really need to block out the window in the second picture. It spoils my pictures too.
Bulkhead 3 is pretty much new construction, the bomb bay is from the Labrador plane.
Spent the day moving the XP-82 stuff into their new facility, and moving the inboard wing panels into the hanger.
The fuselage jig is from Lucky13.

Please let me add that DRY MARTINI was equally guilty on the part of the carry thru spars for the lake airplane.Another set is still needed.Thanks to DRY MARTINI!Chuck Giese wrote:Got a new set (thank you Hang the Expense), looking for a shop to finish them.DryMartini wrote:Hmmmm.....

Re: Don Brooks 2nd B17
It is very exciting to see something recognizable as a B-17 taking shape on that jig. Thanks for the update.
