I am not doing a building thread on this kit since it is such a simple build but thought you might enjoy a couple of pictures of the framing..  more details are in my Vendors Corner Space (Griffins Model Service)

Thanks

Mike

A suggestion for you-I would glue the rudder fin to the stabilizer.  Just make it a little deeper so it extends through the top sheeting.  It's an easy modification and the rudder won't break off. Learned the hard way.  Yours is looking very nice.
