Shaping the top edge of the fuselage. I’d done this a few days ago but not correctly. There is a template in the plans as shown in the first pic. It seemed a lot of curve but I confirmed with another builder…then it was obvious.
Some hours later the front and rear are tapered correctly. I may blend a little more around F28 back towards the pilot otherwise its looking correct. I used several sanding templates as I did on the bottom curve and a plans shape glued and trimmed on a bit of laminex.
