New Wing Root Fairings

My first bit of news is...
I have redesigned the Wing Root Fairing for the 1/33 plane.

There have been a few complaints about the look of the fairing, with its many cut lines (that allow it to curve to the wing shape).

Also the fact that it fits with a right angle fold rather than a gentle curve.



The curve on the Mustang B/C model fairing is not as extreme as on say, on Spitfire or even a P40...but it is definately curved.


It is also made up of about four panels, so some of the vertical 'seams" do make sense.





Anyway, I have designed a new fairing that I have already given to Chris (Gutzmer) to try.
His version is coloured to match the Lambie II kit,
I have not adapted them to any other kit yet.
...not until I see how well they will work.

I won't put it out for everyone to see yet, until I am sure it works.

But if you are building any of the Marek Mustangs and would like to test fit some new fairings, I would
love the feedback.
