Flying without wings!

This is the stage I'm up to at the moment with my messerschmitt. It now has wings but are not yet attached to the fuselage. I think it will be a while before that happens as I have to do all that work on the wood. I think I may have to have the window open when I do that bit to save myself from getting high! Oh yeah there's a thought. As you can see in the photos, I have my hamster right by my work so I might have to move her! Unless I want an intoxicated hamster having got high from sniffing glue!
I've got proper dihedral height on it now which makes it look a bit more wing like. There was a very intricate way of acheiving this height. Er ok there wasn't. I just put whatever I could find that would give me the right angle. In the booklet, they do it with proper little measured out wooden blocks. Puh, who needs wooden blocks when you have sellotape reels and box lids at hand!
