Bro, Looks great! I've been through your thread already, great stuff, thanks! Man that tank is close to the ground! No hard landings! Full scale Hellcat was the same way, kind of an afterthought I guess.

Nice work Hal, keep it going! Thanks for the pictures you sent also!


I've finished with the cowl modifications for my engine cooling strategy, I used the 2 lower cowl flaps. Using that great stuff Hal told me about called Flight Skin, I cut new cowl flaps. Thought if I'm doing the bottom ones may as well do them all so they look the same. Always thought the top ones especially looked lame anyway. The top cowl flaps are just for looks, no air passes by them, all that is done by the bottom flaps. I stuck some more foam behind the firewall and cut it down so lot's of hot under cowl air can get out. The rest of the plan is to use the dummy engine as a baffle to direct air directly over the engine. The cowl mod really helps the look of the plane, can't wait to see it in it's colors!
