| But will it be cat-proof? |

| If you get by with just one - well then you're more careful than I. :) |

| Looking great so far! Thanks to DD, I have one on deck to build as soon as business travel slows down, along with an upcoming wedding! |

| There was another P-47. In France, I think. Uncle Benz maybe? Made it for his new son. Also duct tape. |

| What is this product originally intended for? |

| Anders I think it was me. I have used it on several,builds. Not vinyl but Al duct tape. |

| Aluminium tape, used for ducts etc. Been used on a SBD daunless on this site i think. Cant remember who built it, but go to aircraft type and look for one with aluminium on it :) |

Seems I hit a bit of snag during my experiments with chrome vinyl. It tends to be heat-sensitive. Room temps were "only 75-80 degrees. I was told it was "gassing" out. Or bubbling. Anyone have suggestions? |

Making slow, but steady progress. |

Just as equally, each infill results in at least one broken stringer.... |

Every infill has its first step..... |

| what kind of back board do you use sky? |

| I think modelers can be forgiven for following the plans and the plans indicate gluing the instrument panel to this piece. All the 400 series kits are the same in this detail and there is absolutely no mention of how to do it correctly. |

When you get to the end of your "roll, if all goes well, you should have the desired length of strip... |

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 .... |
| Skyediamonds1985, Image # 40300 | 08 Jun 18 21:02 |
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. |
| Skyediamonds1985, Image # 40297 | 08 Jun 18 20:55 |
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. |

| Looks like you've got it figured out. Don't forget that the wings, with the exception of the flaps/ailerons, ARE NOT bare metal, they are have been surface puttied, smoothed and painted to maintain the laminar flow across the airfoil. |
