| This is great, Phil, a great resource for others modellers... |

| That is simple marvelous, thank you for taking the time to share your technique. |

I'd reinforce the "Seating" edge next time. Edge got pretty beat-up after a few on n' offs. 1/64" ply matching former profile before adding extention thingee? |

I used one wedge for the seam, and the other for a cra.., ill-shaped former. |

Here' one way to do it. |

| That is extremely neat... |

| Had to shrink the perimiter of the cowl though.Bit of a pain in the... though. Still not there, yet. |

| Yes, that is very slick. |

Built it flush and removable. I think somebody was wondering about something like this. |

Tried this mini-cable for rigging? Sizes from .010" to At least .019. Get it at a "Beading" store. They aslo stock very nice nynon, poly, and cotton very tight weave threads that are larger in Dia. (no fuzzies). |

Feather the edges as close to tangent to surface as possible. This way you'll have only one texture to deal with (i.e. just filler) when finishing.You're going to want to coat the back (side facing model) with CA for reinforcment to help with retaining a sharp edge while feathering the edge.

| Thanks Steve. I've got something in mind. I'll doc it and post it if it turns out. |

| I probably saw someone else here on the VA extend the covering over the cowl and decided to try it. It still leaves a ridge rather than a smooth transitions so I'll be looking for better ways to make the cowl joint in future builds (flying and display). |

| pfinn...Timing is everything. The fillet on Klaus I drove me nuts. This should make the fillet for Klaus II tolerable..."Tanks!" |

| Thanks. Coming from both of you (just took a gander at your hangers) I take it as a great compliment. SteveM, examined your 109 build, as well as others, is it common practice to cover up over a bit the vac-form cowl (I never did in the past)? It does clean things up quite a bit. My 109 kit is old (35 yrs) with styrene parts, will dope affect it. I've noticed that CA causes styrene to become brittle and crack easily. |

| Yes, I do believe I will try this instead of the cereal box method that never seems to work for me. |

| Very informative reference. Thanks. |
