Re: Home built full scale Me262

Sorry I haven't updated this post much (or any others) I have been occupied with other pressing issues. I manage to look in on occasion to try and keep up.
Over the summer I managed to cover the starboard side of the nose with flex board and I had to begin rebuilding the nose as the foam one didn't fit properly.
The port side is completely covered with cardboard as a template before cutting wood. The entire project consists of templates, so far the fuselage from nose to tail, measure twice, cut once idea.
I have made a template (mock up) of the gun port and pulled a quick fiberglass test copy of it.
Using best guesstimates for it's dimensions, as I don't have a real one to compare it with but it looks close enough.
The gaps will be covered with putty and smoothed out, a rough loose fit right now, once everything is permanently attached the surface will be cosmetically corrected.
For now the project is in storage in the shed as winter is here and the garage is being used for the automobile.

That's about it for now, thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

Regards

Vince...
