Some pics of the mods that i made

First that internal spar to brace into place Former B3
I took a pair of calipers and on the plans went edge on the drawings and I think I got it pretty close to perfect.

And at the suggestion of Mr Parker
I put in a stringer at the compound curve at the top That I think will REALLY smooth out the covering.

I ran that stringer out from B3 to B7

As you can see I also used one of the 3/16th stringers for framing the top window as the H 1,2 and 3 pieces seemed to leave a lot of excess room. I think it will give it a bunch more strength.

I gotta do a bit of filling in the joints where they need it for a perfect covering job I'll use some pegs of strip scrap and then do a final sanding

I am thinking In honor of the Baltimore Orioles having a Winning Season I might Do it in Orange and Black. (HOW BOUT DEM O'S!)
