| This is a bad image, but after cutting way the portions of the formers, I painted the forward fuselage black. This way, The slotted faux engine side wouldn't have balsa wood peeking through |

| Marked the areas to be cut away while preserving the overall formers and shape of the forward fuselage. |

| Seeing that the fuselage was pretty much already framed up, I didn't want to cut away too much of the formers/bulkheads. If I did cut away the formers, then there would be nothing left to support the outside covering. So, I decided upon a crazy idea. You can easily see from this sample what I'm about to do. |

| When in fact, closer views will show the exhaust supported directly to the crankcase just under the valve cover |
