After gluing on the ply doubler, I flipped the frame again from some last finishing touches. I must say I can really enjoy all these perfect joints:

The front half of the second fuse side, which came out even better than the first one I think:

And back together for some final sanding, sanding out the last little imperfections:

And behold, two perfectly matching fuse sides! I spent a lot of time aligning the holes for the wing tubes and all of the pre-cut slots for the formers, which will hopefully save me a lot of fiddling later on…:

Stacked them one more time to check alignment, front:

.. and aft of the fuselage:

I couldn’t resist dreaming a bit, it does almost fly doesn’t it…? :-)
