:thumbsup Thanks Troop
Ok that keel line always gives a problem
so we are going to chisel that right out of
there, now it's below the clay and I can fill it back
in. It's easier to sand similar surfaces rather than
dissimilar, the clay is much harder than the styrene
and it shows in the final pull.
Done!
I went ahead and pinned the neck to the lower hull as well
the hulls' are finished now......

I don´t know, the cockpit pod looks strange. The "rear crosssection" or profile should have a curvature, and not be trapezoidal as you cut out the black styrene. Or are you still going to build it up from there with more clay?

I was thinking when I cut it out (and the front)I could just kind of
tweak the curve in by hand as it would be freed up,
and then cut a bulkhead to fit?

I was looking at the the pattern for the fuselage and I def want to
make some changes down at the nose, it needs more curvature for sure.....
maybe I can work on the back as well......

Great work. I see what you mean about the curve, but getting that right will make this very nice!
I just built a vac machine, and its really great for round areas. Stuff that took forever to form is just sssssap and its done. Loving it.
Thanks, yea i have to fix it....it looks completely wrong right now!

Trying again with more arc at the back......
Getting the height of the cross sections......
Number 1.
Gonna need some sanding previous one on the
right new one on the left. I have as much roll
as I can get in regards to it working with the
neck part which has a flat spot in it.

Definately a big improvement. Maybe add a very slight curvature at the front as well.
