How do you arrive at a unique airplane?? You nique up on it of course! Slowly, but rest assured, assuredly, I am moving toward something here. lol Green leaves a lot to be desired in the way of opacity. Black would be at the other end of that spectrum. Mould them in black?? Untrimmed Weight - 820 grams or approx. 1.8lbs

You guessed it - that's a lower cowl section. The tool in all rights should have been at least a two piece mould with the forward section pulling straight off the nose. Don't be fooled by the test part, rather let it convince you of the durability of the materials involved. I stood on the mould and pulled and twisted that thing with all my might. Pile it into the ground, dust it off, pop out the dings and stick it back on. Lets see you do that with an ABS cowl - NOT!! We conquered the opaqueness issue with a couple of coats of automotive paint in the mould. So the next fuselage will get brown camo followed by green paint.

These flanges are 2 layers of 9 Oz cloth over the tool coat. It works well. The flange is firm, but still somewhat moveable.
