Kittyhawk P-39 update 2
Assembling the fuselage allowed me to finish the top decking and bracing
Here the center wing section is dry fit in place. Once glued, the engine bay can be readied for the engine and accessories.

Just a quick update to keep me motivated: I finally got the fuselage halves together and I primed the rear to get a better look at how well the smoothing and shaping is working. The primer shows a few rough spots here and there, but overall it looks pretty good. I'll rescribe some panel lines, add some lost rivets, and then I can finally move forward. Literally, forward to the radiator and landing gear wells, so I can attach the lower wing and start work on the engine bay.
