With a nod to the guys at Bad Obsession Motorsports I've been engaging in CAD (cardboard aided design). I also wish to say that Mr French Curve is my friend. Although I am still engaged in the process of fill and sand ad infinitum, I have also started working on the wing roots and fairings. 1/64 ply will work for the basic shapes of the fairing bottoms but the upper half of the fairing will be more of a challenge due to some fairly tight radius curves. I've also noticed that the favorite poses of many German pilots seem to block the best views of the wing root.
