| Tail feathers squared away, but the center section of the wing is an excederin headache. |

| Well now that is as cold as a frozen elk teat in Siberia, it is time for tinkering in the model shop once again. Vacuumed the floor and started looking for both my thoughts and model parts. At least I have found the Gumster. Working on the cockpit interior. Happy New Year!!! |

| After a cup of coffee and muttering a few choice phrases, I tried my luck on the lathe again: success! I had to laminate a poplar wood blank to make the Afterburner cone due to it's height. Turned out pretty good if I say so myself. THese will be attached later after all the planking is completed and the Exhaust duct/flame-holder has been fabricated and installed. |

| The finished master with my first attempt at forming the canopy. This is a totaaly new process to me: SLip the form into a soft-drink 2 liter bottle that has been cut off at both ends then apply heat from a heat gun and teh plastic magically shrinks the shape of the master. Cool! |

| Next project is to carve the master for the canopy. I used Basswod that I picked up at the local big-box home improvement store. This is a progress shot about a 1/2 hour into the process. |
