I started working on the lower wing, got it roughed out. the square section is where the engine will go so i left it that way until i can fit it on there. still have to smooth it out and primer. ill get some pictures with the engine next to the body so you can see the size.

Thanks for looking.

Cool! So your putting on some bondo or styrene after the final shaping?

Thanks Jerry, i just skin it with bondo to fill in the foam cells, it makes it easier to prime and add panel lines. after i get it smoothed out i can add the lines and any styrene details. then just a light misting of primer to seal it up and its ready for molding.

I can't describe adequately how outstanding this looks! The amount of work, the details, the time, it's amazing, a work of art. My jaw hits the deck at every update.

Go Navy!

Edit - Wow! Over a year in the making of beauty!
