Default Cowl for Modeltech/Robbe Saphir l

Anyone have an idea where I can get a cowling for my newly purchased Saphir l?
I have the glass belly pans, but no cowling.

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Hi,

I have a cowl but I need it for my own Saphir.
Maybe try some German forums (if you can read German).

On the other hand it is not that difficult to make a one time plug from foam and use epoxy and fiberglass fabric
and then you should be able to get a good cowl.
I can give You the exact measurments of the cowl and take some more pictures of it from various angles.

Excellent!
Can you post some photos of that color scheme?
It looks like the original plane, and I am going to paint mine like that, but I need to see the underside...

Sending you a PM with email info also.

Thanks

I have a Saphire rebuild on plan that will include making a new mold off the cowl I have after repairs to the cowl. How much of a hurry are you in?
