RE: ESM LA-7 From VQ Warbirds
The ESM LA-7 Is great for a cockpit. Plenty of room You only have to remove just a small portion of one former. I Had really been thinking about how to work with the area behind the cockpit. Radio compartment. There are several differt interuptation of that area . I decides to make an insert for that area and add a couple reaio boxes. I made a mold of the cuverature and then used that to make my mold of that area. I leave a 1/4" lip around the whole rear area and the compartment drops right in and matched the curvature perfectly. I then moved to the front cockpit. I make a basic mold of the area to test the fit. I pull the test one out of .020 ABS. I usually have several before i find what fits. This help me decide what needs to be added and get the size right...
