As you can see, it's comparable to my efforts of slicing thin pieces of paper used for rigging on my PT-17. Although not easily seen here, it's about 1/3 to 1/4th the size of my rigging. Really nice and comes in 50' and 100' rolls. I got the 100' roll from Amazon for $8.50 plus free shipping.

As you can see, it's very thin to scale. It's made of shiny metal and really easy to use.

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.....

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.

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.
