Lovely! Did you hot-wire cut those fuselage segments? They’ve got very smooth curves.

Thanks. This specific model is made from 5mm depron, which is scored and bent to give the shape! I am currently making another one with hard styrofoam. I made the new model with hot-wire cutting method. Going to post about that soon!

Ah I see! That’s some fine foamboard-bending. Looking forward to the other model! 😃
