RE: The wood pile for 3 prototypes arrive
ok here we go with fuse sides and the Speed Brake Doors. The doors are in place as per the stock plan. You will also see that I have (as I call it) Trenched in the formers from F4 to F6 into the 1"Tri stock for a better fit over all.
To quote Mr. Jim Newman "you will also see that I do not follow the herd and ask the builder to "crack and bend" the sides at the trailing edge, in order to pull them inwards to create a taper. I don't know why modelers do that but, they have done it since time immemorial - and yet there is absolutely NO need to do that as you can see. Spread the word to your buddies who fancy themselves as designers."
So in order to get around the "Crack and Bend" I used the trench method it worked will in the end as you will see <g>
