How to cut strips to length of the former? No need for complex mathematics. Just grab the former and roll it over the first strip and ....

The plans and the whole frame calls for this piece to be installed. Solution? Laminated strips to the exact same shape as the former. Now, you're probably going to say "Yeah, but because the strips are laminated on the outside circumference of the part, that'll make the final result bigger than the original. Hope you kept in mind my previous posts, that the outline of the fuselage on Guillow's fuselage is slightly more slim than the true outline as compared to the 3-views. Sooo, This should (hopefully) work out with the planking an all.....

Here's a good side view of the same part on top of the plans.

B-8 is the former that is used to help shape the fuselage around the front windshield and often mistook for the instrument panel.

A close up of the cockpit area shows the coaming around the front windshield to be at an angle. This is where a lot of modelers make a mistake and "assume" this also doubles as the instrument panel. The instrument panel is more vertical and its also located i"inside" or under the coaming.

Sky. I think this is where that shape came from. Note the air scoop on top of the nose is gone, so it's not an A model.

Not exactly a sharp image, but wanted to show that I trimmed away much of the longeron around the cockpit area. It's my intent, to try the "drop box" method of installing the cockpit.

Another "slight" difference was how the belly scoop faired into the lower fuselage. The Guillow's shows a rather sharp curve ending into the lower belly, whereas the 3-views shows a more modest blending. I'm going with the 3-views. Shouldn't be too hard to handle.... I hope
