Good comments, gentlemen.

As far as my B17 goes .... it proceeds slowly because I am leaning. And I must think thru each step which is very time consuming at my age. Details make the foam modeling process slightly different from that used for man-carrying airplanes. Whether or not I can use foam for this model remains a question. We'll see.

My first fuselage made of white polystyrene foam (shown in the foto) is unsat. Pretty crude. I have started a new fuse made with blue foam. It really sands nice and will be far superior. The old fuse will be used as a learning tool for covering with glass.

Dick, remind me to keep you posted.
