The wing is fully sheeted and removed from the jig!
The wing is joined to the fuselage!!!

A historic moment!  The wing meets the fuse for the first time.  The fit looks good!

Note the block under the nosewheel.  The strut lengths are a bit out of whack.  I chose to shorten the mains, mainly because the nosewheel installation is more critical with the closing doors and all.
