Default RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

Saturday John and Dennis came over and worked on Johns panther. They forged along with more sheeting on the fuse. and they also started to sheet over the intakes. I finished sheeting the bottom of my intakes and almost all of the fuse. Next for me will be to line up the wings for mounting. Hal and Vladimir carved the canopy plug out of blue foam. It is 1/4" smaller than the final shape and coated in epoxy. The epoxy will keep the bondo body filler from melting the foam. The bondo will make up the last 1/4" of the plug and bring it to its final shape.
