Thanks for your suggestion. Good idea, they can be obtained from an original Cessna 3 view drawing and easily adapted to the model. Formers are always a great help making the model more accurate and better shaped.

maybe build a kit of his before going through the need to make formers, the kit is well designed, and is at a consistent scale

Thank's my friends! I glad with kind words, I build soon OA-37 and two A-37

The model have formers but only two, one in frontal fuselage and one in transition section of fuse, this formers ressemble a ABC magazine aircraft builds with petals, If you install the cockpit two laminated formers are provided, but the model depend of scale is "buidable" without formers.

My only problem with Stahlhart models is their size.For the level of detail I think they are tad too small.1:50 would have been better scale.I tried both Draken and F-18 (both Finns) and failed.

Stahlhart use 1/60 scale, the models are very buidable (in fact I build Nachang Q-5, F5D and Drakken), but in the Tweet the original scale is 1/48, because the plane is very small...

How does it compare to Murph's OBP Tweet?
I think you have built his, originally at 1/29, Pericles?

I suppose these two formers are enough to help obtaining the complicated fuselage shape. Thanks!!

I not build Aaron Tweet, but I have the kit, both designs are very close in many aspects, but Stahlhart is a superior model (OBP is a early Aaron desing), Stahlhart model have a pletora of antenna array, wing atuactor, have a possibility for made a detailed cockpit, both versions (A-37 and T-37) have a detailed Air Brake, and A-37 have a many armament options (free fall bombs, many size of rocket pods and fuel/napalm tanks), another nice option is made a 2D or 3d undercarriage gear legs...

For the ones who like to customize your planes here are the historical loads of the Dragonfly. There could have been possibly more, of course.
