Default RE: CMP Hellcat

Been working on this thing, several different parts at once, so progress seems slow. I filled the tail with some blue foam and sanded to the fuselage contour.

Next I covered it with some heavy glass cloth.

After that I filled the whole area and sanded it smooth.

After marking the stab incidence and airfoil outline I cut the hole. Hal was a big help with this!

Stab was then glued in, elevators now work!

The last picture is of the rudder and how I carved out the fin. Still have to make the hinges for this, but a big thanks to Hal for the idea. The fuselage is almost done!
