| I bring this up so y'all can compare and see what a really great job Poppy has done with his. There's much more to the canopy looking good than masking and Poppy nailed it. |

| Seems you've added the aerial mast and wires. Just when you think you're finished ..... |

| No...One's enough! |

| I seem to have another spare Mossy if you want another crack at it. |

Asyou can see, my nacelles stop at the wing edge. DOH!! Now you tell me! |

| These nacelles are a real PIA. After so much time spent sanding the edges for proper dry fit, will revert to styrene model techniques of adding strips at underside seams to help in alignment for accurate glue up and added strength. |

| To mold a large part and leave the middle hollow you would need either a resin that will stay put on vertical surfaces or to fill the center area with foam (a handful of packing peanuts from a recent splurge on eBay?) or something that can be removed after the resin has cured. Another option is to vacuum mold the part over the top of a solid mold. I am currently working on all of the above methods and have had some success. |

| It could be done. You would have to use quite a bit and it would indeed be heavy. The good thing is that the stuff cures much faster if there's a lot of it involved and it does get quite warm during curing. |

| David,
Has anyone suggested molding the cowling and glueing it on and then sanding to desired shape? I don't know how heavy the resin is but on a static model I shouldnt make a difference. |

| DD. Arrived today, Funny thing walking up the driveway from the mailbox I'm saying...Geez, hope I don't mess 'em up. Open the box, BAM!!! two sets of each. Double thanks go out you. Today working on cockpit detailing. |

| All are gorgeous works of art, including paintings. |

| Can't thank you enough. The Airacobra was a great surpise and that's why I referenced X-mas. Those photos are great and I'm now leaning towards purchasing them now. BTW, from this photo now I realize why you build static and not flyable aircraft; even though this would be a great display. |

The pieces are going to the post office this morning, Moostang. |

| Wow. I feel like a child waking up on X-mas morning. They look awesome. |
| SteveM, Comment for image # 6260 | 31 Jan 08 00:46 |
| Thanks for sharing your technique. I think I will try this out in addition to the other methods that I am working on. |

| Very hard, but easy to sand and carve. |
| Xanadu, Comment for image # 6260 | 30 Jan 08 23:20 |
| Does it dry very hard like a plastic? |

How they look coming out of the molds. These are for Moostang's Mossie and P 39. Molds are re-useable. |

| Great job. i thought my planes came out good, until I now see yours! |
| David Duckett, Comment for image # 2030 | 17 Oct 06 12:32 |
| Thanks! It's a pity it's no longer manufactured cause it's a good kit. |
