Default RE: Beaver cowl


ORIGINAL: Roger Gray

I've decided to make a plug and make my own fiberglass one. I may post pictures of the process if any interest? Unionville 72'' available for only 15.00 or so bucks but the shipping from Canada was more than $60. I have the materials -so- why not!
That's probably your best bet. I've seen some Beaver cowls that aren't exactly scale, which is as unorthodox as an FW190 with an incorrectly shaped cowl. Nice build you have going there also, and if I were to build a giant scale, the Beaver would be at the top of the list. Currently I have a 24" version, with scratch built floats like yours.
