Yes !! The fuselage is skinned (except for the bottom). I know I keep saying it, but it is amazing how strong, rigid, and light the structure becomes when even thing is all riveted up! After the skins were on I got to dig out the last of the big pieces from the crate, the sides to the cockpit. It feels like it won't be long until I can sit in my very own airplane and make airplane noises :-))))
