That's Funny :lol: :lol: Never heard that before but will remember it.

Well I got the R-1 cowl figured out :pirat: Was lookin through my parts bin and found this

and said OK, cut the small cowl in half to see what it would look like, close
That picture won't come up :!: :!:

then I turned the white cowl over and it looks much better

so I figure if I cut the engine out and turn it over, get the two cowl's glued together and sanded, may have to use some filler it should be close enough for the JMN. Will see in the next update. Thanks for looking. John

Nice work John, the P&W will be a cool addition.

Ok, here are the decals. Just need to paint the tires and wipe off the finger prints before the NMA.

Looks great Sam.

That picture won't come up

John, check your photo size. If they are too large, it will take forever to appear. Best to resize to a max of 1024 x748 before hand. I do all of mine at 800 x 600 and they only take a few seconds to upload.
