The skies are full of 109's

Cool. Nice and small. How's Illustrator holding up? Mine starts going a bit crazy when my drawings get a bit complicated. Especially the Smart Guides.

You've got a similar look to your wing underside showing a step between the wing and fuselage. It's worth looking over.

BH, you are right. The leading edge of the wing needs to be transitioned better.

Since I have resurrected this aircraft I have been playing with the fuselage/wing shading. I'm still not happy with it (read: nothing shown here is final), but it is coming along. I have experimented with shading techniques and have made progress in that arena, I now have to translate them over to this project... which will take some time. The final product will, in my opinion, be better overall.

Thanks Jester, it is good to be back. Yellow Six is quite close to being finished and I am determined to see it through.

I'm trying to get the tail/rudder finished up, but I'm a bit stuck. Does anyone have good photo's or reference material that shows details of the fabric covered rudder? I'm trying to determine the stitching and reinforcement panel locations.

best photo I have is of a G-2 converted from an F. If its not the same, it should give an idea on how these were constructed.
It is also a restoration, but should be accurate according the person who did the work.

Thanks Jester! That picture is most helpful. I only had a smaller pictures of that tail and it was difficult to make out the details.

Thanks to all for the rudder pictures. I've started putting the tail section together. Lot's more to do!
