Evenin all,


Thanks for your comments my friends, appreciate you stopping by



Lots of faffing about with design elements that always makes me feel i haven't accomplished much.


But here goes,



And were off.


Front wing, after lots of attempts this is what i ended up with, shape wise

Using 1.5mm tubing as my transition piece, stuck it back together with some angles

Filled with squadron green,

Sanded and with some edge profile work done

Decided it looked better flipped around so i then added the front elements



First with 'H' cross section piece

Then with tube

Then a piece of 'U' and a piece of half round on the tip

Then it was filled, squadron again

Tube bent and glued
