I-16 rough assembly
The fuselage and wing are almost completely shaped.  I tacked on the vertical stabilizer for the photo.  Just before this photo, I glued on the pieces to hold the wing fillets.  I used thin basswood rather than the cardstock recommended in the WW II ID model guide.  The cardstock frays and makes a mess as you sand it.
