West Wings "de Havilland D.H. 80A Puss Moth" - left wing construction

Construction of the left wing is underway.  Unfortunately the kit did not have a 4.5 x 1.5 main spar, so I had to use my trusty sheet balsa cutter to cut my own, not a big deal, but it was a little disappointing that the kit was short of some materials.

I'll give this 24 hours to dry solid and then on to shaping/sanding and adding the 0.8mm sheet balsa leading edge.
