Thank you @ShaneM.
IRCC is a nice club and field, unfortunately I may be ending my participation there. We have been slowly moving 80 miles north and I will be joining a club here sometime soon.

Robert,
I saw the attached photo on AircraftStudioDesign's site and thought of your project.

@WMcNabb, thanks for thinking of me. ASD had a whole portfolio on the II, four profile views, wing lay-outs, and a logo sheet. Someone sent all of it to me knowing I wanted to do it. I want to have them printed on to clear plastic for the projector prior to starting that build, way to much to try and lay out by hand.

When I was fitting the cowl last week for some reason it was short, pic 1. So I made a spacer and epoxied it to the nose former. The fuse panels have been re-cut for the longer nose and awaiting their turn to go on as soon as the epoxy is dry enough.

Being as the kit supplied canopy mount is hideous, pic 1, I am making a glass one like I did on mine. I have laid up a five ply frame and will give it until morning to cure. Then I will give it a good glazing readying it for prime and paint.
