                                                                               Some of the added supports up front along with
                                                                                carbon inner walls. Adds much strength after cutting
                                                                                front locker openings. Although m they were'nt really
                                                                                needed, they will also serve as frontal floor supports
                                                                                and locker tops.

                                                                  ..
                                                                     Big gaps are needed to be scale. four doors per side. all pre- marked!
                                                                  Thanks LEN !

                                  ....
                                   And NOW they OPEN !!!  Hinges will be re-shaped to scale look. One thing at a time!

                                     ..       ..
                                        A little dusty, but the carbon sheet walls will save much weight and work! Cutouts allow
                                       passthru of cables and hydraulic lines later.

                                                      ...          ..
                                                              light shown thru to show how large the gaps are, this is scale!
                                                       Also , carbon strips added to stiffen and create door jamb.

                                          . .       ..
                                            Whole lotta hatch work! The spruce strips inside serve as floor supports for cockpit.
                                            Scale detail in outer locker area and electronics in the mid-bays.
                                            A lot of work to this point  but little cash! scale detailing doesnt cost much $ , just time!
 
 

                                                            .
