RE: 4 Star Bash Questions
I just build a 4 star as my first kit. I seriously considered trying to make a cowl, but I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew on my first kit.
But this link is to website by one of the senior RCU memebers (I forgot his name), I used his procedure for the deck and canopy. He also gives a very good detailed procedure for making a cowl also. If you havn't already seen the site I think it would help you out a lot.

Good luck,
