We have re-engineered the design and now, with the fuselage in place and only the lower wing attached, the attractive and distinctively early 'thirties
appearance of the Fox Moth is now evident.

The front engine cowing is created from an asymmetric structure and reinforced with tissue paper and white glue. This is a refinement of earlier designs and ensures the starboard side of the cowling has no join lines.

Slightly stretching the paper with a ball end or an engraving tool (or a similar 'found' object), adds a more rounded and realistic appearance to the cowling.
