I'm going to buy shares in a vacuum filter company. What do you do with all the dust!! I would have to take it outdoors or my whole shop would become a light reddish pink.

I've done the calculations - you've used more putty on this build than ALL of my past builds combined.

Evenin all, Thanks for stopping by and commenting guys, I managed 10 hours at the bench over the weekend (busy wife) and did quite a lot of work on the final body shape Still trying to figure out the rear wing and the front wing, but i think i know what to do with the front The nose itself area is still a WIP....... Sand, fill, sand, fill............... Started on the area behind the cockpit and the blend into the impact structure which is at the back I had installed two rods extending from the outer cockpit walls to the center at the back, they had a nice flowing curve to them these were for suppport I bent over the 1mm (0.039") sheet and glued it to the central profile support and the cockpit curve and the back central area After sanding the edge flush, i did the same on the other side After a rough whittling with me #11 After some shaping Forced, with a heat gun, two pieces of 1mm just to fill the large gap Then i skinned the inner contour with 0.5mm(0.020") sheet, letting it just flow into the area and covering a large slit in the front intake area After trimming, side two. Needs a bit of tweeking but its close Back to the 1mm for the front panels, large overlap to be sanded back and filled later Basic left side shaping Just this small recess at the back to fill next Top profile Filled and ready for sanding, but thats next time Stay tuned Take care friends Gagsterman

Gag! Please tell me you are not going to hide all that detail on the engines with that new aft cowling?
At any rate you have done some great work so far.
Regards,
Brett

Looks fab, all those curves on the Beauty, top work! Do you plan to detail the body with panel lines or something similar?
