Looks like it's been molded. Beautiful work!! |

That's a beautiful job. Mine is sitting on my work area, with a fuselage that's too big in circumferance because I used 1/16" balsa to cover it with, now, the cowling won't fit it. I don't know how to correct it. |

SW Sand the nose until the cowl slides over the fuse. |

Agree with Johnny O, but fit the cowl on a 1/16" piece of balsa and mount the piece to the front of the fuse. Sand fuse down to that size and then mount the cowl. BINGO. Hey, there's always Micro-Fill if it's not perfect. |

John O. and Moos are right on, mount the cowl to balsa then mount the balsa and cowl combo to the fuse, then sand flush and micro fill. |

If I didn't see earlier pics, I would have thought the prop and spinner were cast as one piece. Believe me, they get easier the more your carve them. Perfecto. |
