Default RE: warbird replicas hurricane

today i glass clothe and resined the fairings to give them more strength. and this also helped me shape the front of the fairings where they go over the leading edge of the wing to the underside.

Once this was done i thin filled out any imperfections.

next i trimmed the front of the fairings to allow the cowl to slide on neat.

i also class clothed the firewall wrapping the clothe around the sides to help with strength.

i filled any blemish's in the exhaust stacks and blisters on the cowling. and gave them a coat of black to make sure i had got all the gaps.

Once this was all done i started to litho plate the front of the fuse where there is metal work on the original.
