Super-quick update: wing cores are cut.

The wings will consist of a 1/4" plywood core sandwiched between 0.04" styrene sheets. That's a 16" rule in the photo. Each core is 8" from root to tip. Add another 2" of engine to the root (10" total semi-span) plus another 3-4" for the fuselage and wing mounts. The total wing span will be 23-24" when complete. The fuselage is 29-30" nose to tail. These new Hasbro toys are monsters!! Too cool...
