Nigel Heath Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Nice work Rick on what looks like a pretty tricky set up. It looks like you have it in hand but my thinking there would be to use some black Milliput to fill the gaps around the canopy. Good luck with it anyway.

infofrog Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Thanks all I started the prep work on the engine cover and door . Here is the engine cover 2 parts . With no engine . I mock this part up . Cut the door out , then I had to glue the 2 cut parts together. This made the door . I added rib supports to the inside door panel Enjoy Rick 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
