Parts....

It's always fun when you get to switch gears. Now with the fuselage plug just about done, and ready for primer, we turn our attention to some of the smaller parts. Since the entire mold and part making process is new to me, I thought it best to get the techniques down, on the smaller pieces, instead of putting the big fuse plug at risk. The outboard wings, turkey feathers, and the 4 elevators are the first on the table, taking shape. Take a look below at some of the progress.

Before leaving the shots of the main fuse, here is the final shot of it, after we have moved it asside in the shop:
