That's how it's meant to be. It falls three inches from F-15 to F-20 then it's flat for the spar to pass through or, as they did later, sit on top.The bulkheads are all square at the moment, the top of the frames on the other hand have a very gradual taper until it reaches the spar where it's flat then after the spar it takes a nosedive. That's how it's drawn on the plans I got from Fred?

Haha that's a good idea Richie. I'm planning on putting a thin layer of fibreglass over the inside to round off the square edges.
What's the paint code for "Shabby Silver"?

Re: Bluebird & Other Scale Models
Hmm, shabbying, can't say as I've tried that particular experience yet[.]
Would you guys recommend me putting it on my bucket list?
Out of interest, on this Nexus (pronounced Kerr-app) plan, forward of F15 the sides of the hull have quite a noticeable bow outwards, am I correct in ignoring this? All the pics I've looked at look to be flat & square.

Re: Bluebird & Other Scale Models
Nope - the bowed shape is correct.
