Just curious...did you fiberglass as you went or did you do it all at once when the plane was done?
 
As you go...

my tail feathers were done when I built the tail, canopy, well that's another story, as I'm beefing up the skirts this week with bid cloth and micro. the cowl will be done this week so I'll glass the stuff then that need glass. same with gear fairings & wheel pants. Just a matter of personal preference I guess
 
I voted as I went, but really did a little of both

I sort of like small batches anyway, so I'd just do some while I was working on other stuff.

not my favorite activity, so spreading it out worked better for me
 
I spread mine across builds - I'd rather not face a mountain of glasswork at the end, as I don't enjoy it that much. Besides, you'll be forced to do some of it as you go in order to finish other stuff.

Doing the Empennage tips while waiting for later sub kits or parts deliveries gets things done efficiently.
