Default RE: BT Bf109E-4

in order to open the bottom rear of the cowl for the exhaust exit i needed to make a new door since i didn't think i could make a fine enough cut to make the cutout piece usable. so i used the monokote trick; clear monokote down and then 5 layers of 5oz cloth and resin.

pic 2: after curing, i traced around the door outline and then popped the glassed piece off and cut out both the door and the opening in the cowl. the door outline was already molded into the cowl so i didn't to retrace the opening from the new door i made.
