I'm building a plane at the moment (sonic 500) it only a small plane and the kit has just a stub nose with the engine screwed to it. I have gone to the trouble to fibreglass the plane and finish I a nice paint finish but the thing look pretty ordinary without a cowl.

Has anyone got some tip on how to make a cowl, I was thinking about useing a plastic coke bottle end and fibreglassing it and then removing the plastic bottle, did know how to seperate the 2 at the end of the process but. Any ideas.......

Maybe use foam and form a cowl and then use glass and z-poxy finishing resin and when dry use some thing like petrol to eat the foam out an then I would be left with the shell.

any simple tips?
