    Little advice; sand down the stringers on the tail - they are for the F-2, the G-2 did not have them. Seems like you have some sanding ahead of you anyway Allan 🙂

    You have made some good progress and by the looks of things, you will be spraying some paint on this one very soon. Keep it going... 🙂
