I decided to attach the wings before covering, not what I usually do but this time I felt that the wing root geometry would be easier to cover if the wings were on. Also decided to handle the engine nacelle/fuselage joints with pieces of manila folder. I like this technique, stronger than bond paper and the color seems to blend in better with balsa. Fair amount of filler to smooth things out. I use Red Devil fast drying spackle for this.

Nice AK, I like the manila folder as well.  I does look like balsa under the tissue.
This is going to look great.  Can't wait see it covered.
