THANKS Mike, Gary, B.Beard and Fred!
So here is the cowling progress. First, I filled the inside with epoxy and then this morning, lightly sanded the petals:
Then I filled with Tamyia putty:
And kept sanding, priming, sanding, priming etc...
Until finally...
I then cut out the bottom for the engine and painted the inside and out with black. I'll post the beast all done later tonight! Looks pretty neat-oh.
Thanks to you all for encouragement. I have a flying boat, a large Albatros recon aircraft and the only Albatros rotary machine and a Hannriot all waiting This little guy was such a joy to put together and really looks so neat, I may tackle one of those next.
The Spider will look great next to my WNW Snipe!
Cheers,
Dan
