Thanks Mike!
It's easier than it looks

A few thoughts about metal print....it sure looks really good!!
But there are a few drawbacks....
Everything become visible....there are nowhere to hide errors...and I do a lot of them...not the biggest but the small ones that would have been invisible on a normal print.Well error might be the wrong word, but inaccuracy is more right.And those inaccuracies becomes very visible with the macro lense and the spot lighting.

The rudder.Drawing


Inner framework


The skins had to be formed before gluing and it's kind of picky work to get this joints nicely done.
Here I have glued one side to the rudder


And the skins are on.


The side facing forward had some flips to be joined.I found it a bit hard to get this niceely done,but it's invisible after the rudder is mounted...so I let it pass


The rudder put loosely on.It won't be glued in place before I have the radio antenna going from the top of the tailfin through the canopy and onto the pilots seat...So to have a chance of getting it straight it will be tightened up through the tailfin after glued in front.



Now on to the vertical stabilizers..
