Well I have been moving forward and back on this.....

to make a long story short, the rear skirt was a bit to

short to make the distance I needed. Also the fenders

were a bit to wide so I have been working on them.

I went ahead and formed the fuselages again this

time in 2.5mm I like this the best. After I had them trimmed

up and fitting pretty good together I mocked them up

to sit on the front skirt to get the shape. The it was sanded

now it's ready to form.

I cut the tail around 350mm I think....and I have it running

back down on the bottom towards the fender about 250mm?

You can see the pencil line drawn on the angle where it was

to be cut out.

I found out the rear skirt was going to have to be able

to come around a bit more, to be able to have the gap

for the fenders correct. So I added some MDF and blended

it in. I also added the the height of the fender part by adding

to that as well on the bottom, because I needed room to adjust

it up and down between the skirts and cut outs.

You can see I have that much more skirt to work with now on the sides.

Using some pin stripe tape to help mark out

some of the flash to be cut away...

Just added some temp steps to hold the fuselage

in place.

Looks good right? Not so fast found out the fenders are

a bit to wide I need them to be around 187mm's and they

are 202mm's.

A more better type Jig thing to keep

stuff in place....

Ok the fender that was to big.....I marked the center

cut it in the middle and then subtracted from each side,

as you can see with the pencil marks. Belt sander palm

sander and then hand sander! LOL

Thats it i can form some new fenders and maybe make

the cut outs for them. I am out of plastic I need to pick

up some more. I have one more part to make the wrap

around piece that goes over the nose, then I have to form

a front skirt and see if it will all fit together?
