Re: 35% Exclusiv Modellbau Challenger III - BBT

I did some more work on this "heavyweight", LOL!!!

The new balsa turtledeck got sanded to 600grit

One of my most exciting learnings of 2012!!!... Windex is amazing stuff to bend balsa to shape ( Phil)

I tacked the sheeting to the spline and then hit it with some windex. Within 5 min, the sheeting had fully formed to the structure. A bit of tape and fast-curing wood glue and the job turned out awesome... best upgrade so far on this build also

Tomorrrow I'll blend everything in, including those stingers and the balsa block on the fuse side
