1980s Cessna 180 kit 107 inch WS Cowl
Hello everyone, recently bought an old kit from an estate sale that’s from the 1980’s that came complete with fiberglass cowl. I’d like to duplicate this old cowl so I can preserve the kit and maybe even cut a few more of these kits from the plans down the road.
Question is: how can I replicate this vintage fiberglass cowl without destroying it? I’ve tried matching it from fiberglass specialties and fiber tech with no luck. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cessna 180 front cowl 107 inch wingspan
It’s 10 1/4 inches wide
Found this in the box, $ 683.86 in today’s dollars!
An old Polaroid of a completed 107 inch Cessna 180, look at that state of the art radio🤣
Kit has everything to build this model
