Fuselage and push rod.

I was out of glues and threaded couplers. I made up the push rod sans the elevator end. A trip to the hobby shop for the parts and it's ready for installation.
  I added some balsa to the nose to fair in the spinner and slopped on a coat of  Poly-Crylic yesterday. I gave up the idea of fiberglass and will just thin some spot putty and paint that on and sand it down. Probably take a few coats to get it somewhat smooth. Monokote on the open bay structures with Rustoleum 2X for trim colors.
