Challenge 90 Rebuild / Tubular wings part 2

I chose not to give up the inner wings so I used their radius to give me the shape that I wanted for the outer wing skin, I started by shaping a length of 2mm alloy to the shape that I required and then using 5mm ply cut out the template for my wing skin, once i was satisfied with the shape I used the wooden template to cut out the wing skin.

I then fastened both the inner and outer sections in place so that I could tack them together, once done I completed the welding on the bench.
