Great work Peter! Please upload more pictures. Any closeup picture is really helpfully to understand how to make a better mold. A picture speaks a thousand words
Regards,
Pablo

The belly of the fuse is open and I am very happy with the result.......... it all came out perfect.
It needs to be cleaned but I hope you like the result.

If I may contribute shortly. I would reinforce the layup with heavy carbon along the main gear area cross section (weakest part of the fuselage) and the lower intake area (intake AND fuselage).

Peter, I forgot to ask you. What are you basing your model on, is this a Dutch Block 15/20 MLU?

Yes, we fly with 15/20 A/B MLU. The J-066 which I am building is a B-MLU version.
