Parts Not Included!

I have started to learn that not all the parts are included, in this particular case the part that transitions from the wing to the body of the aircraft. The instructions state to take some cardboard such as that from a cereal box and using a template on the plan cut it out and shape it to fit the air frame. White the first bit is easy and straightforward, making it round was to say the least a challenge. While the cardboard needed to be trimmed to fit the wing, just finding the right position took a lot of time and testing. I ended up using a round piece of wood to curve the cardboard and after over an hours work got the left side done.

It looked really nice but I was discouraged as I knew I had to do the right side the next night! Well another night and another hour later I had something to be proud of.
