| Jastafuhrer 13 | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Build | 19-Jan-14 10:44 |  | | Views : 463 | | Here you can see that I've shaped the fairings behind the cowl. The picture quality isn't the greatest because it's s camera phone but you can see that I veneered the dash panel with 1/32 then sanded it down to ten thousandths before installing. I didn't want to see the end of the top stringers on the finished model. I have also sanded down all the burnt edges from the laser cuts for the same reason. It also trued up the edges because it appears the laser cuts with a slight angle. |

| Jastafuhrer 13 | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Build | 19-Jan-14 10:30 |  | | Views : 409 | | The kit instructions have the cowling filed in with bits of 1/8 x 1/16. I decided to do it in one piece. This is a wooden block from my son's toy chest that has almost the exact radius required. The card stock is a guide to keep the balsa s square to the form. I put the piece in a bowl of water in microwave to stream it. |
