Gary,
I have been working on mine now for a year and a half.
Moves,New House,Ect,Ect.
I went to Wal Mart and found a cheap aluminum pan about the size of the scale cowling. Cut it down and it looks really good. Also adjusted my firewall back about 2'' to get a more scale look. Redid the tail surfaces to be more scale also. Next big hurddle is the landing gear. really don't like anything about the stock one. so i am going to try and make a more scale version. I am looking to do a E-IV version with twin Spandues.
If you need some info let me know i have a bunch of pictures and some other files around.
Always looking for more though.

Howdy BRITTURB. Definitly post up your pictures, I'd like to see them!

I considered changing things up for a more scaled look and have decided to frame it up pretty much stock. A buddy of mine just suggested using brass brazing rod for the LG and I think that would go well with my brass cowling idea.
