Last night I cloned the formers from a TF P-51B conversion kit I have, if any one wants to do this the TF kit is nearly identical to the Hangar 9 in size.

so I used a 3/32 piece of sheeting as a base for the formersand after cutting them out on my mini Dremmel scroll saw, I did leave out the notching on the bottom so I had a flat surface drew a center line on the former and sheeting and using the TF plans to get distance right glued it up I’m surprised it fits so well I did have to add a tiny spacer at the fuse formers to lift it up into position it did require some trimming to get it into the right position, I also added some wood to the rudder V stab so it has a little more scale and strength before I sheet it I am also going to use Robart hinge pointe So I’ll put some balsa blocks in as hard points
