Cliff, there is a bit of putty used to blend the wing to the windscreen. I discovered long after I had cut the wing that I need to extend the inner edge into the windscreen. The L-4 has the wing sitting on top of the fuselage rather than knotched in but I have yet to carved the windscreen.

The L-4 is moving right along.  Roll out anticipated within the week.

Looking great Lou, that tape ribbing is really effective.Regards Paul J.

I was planning to place a thread and cover it with tape to give the rib effect but that caused more problem than what it was worth so instead I placed three layers of tape on my glass and cut them as such. It gave much more definition to the ribs. Still experimenting after 50 years of joy. Printing decals this morning. Did some last night and had to scrap them. Practice, practice, practice!!!!

The addition of black paper cylinder cowls help to make the look. Thanks for your comments.
