Finally started!!!
The fuslage is very large - about 39 inches or 1 metre long - and so I cut it into thirds to make it manageable. I started with the forward fuselage halves using the traditional sanding method. Using photos and drawings as a gude I made the cockpit floor and bulkheads using thick cardboard - a cheaper alternative to heavy gauge plasticard. Finer details will be added later using plasticard stock etc.  Darius          |
