This is one of the best build threads I have seen. Although it is not completed as we are waiting in the composites to be finished, it shows the assembly of the various components from the jig to a completed component; less the sheeting. The clients, his builder FR1BeeGee, Century Jet and several other are doing a great job making this into a fully supported model. Photos from the thread can be seen below.
