No worries glad you liked it!
Just want to get this up to speed so I can check out the rest of the site here.
Ok on to the rear where the inner bulkhead lives,
I put in some strip to locate the depth of the bulkhead.

Here is the bulkhead with two right triangles attached
to make sure it sits up at 90 deg.

Fitter up against the strips I mentioned earlier.

To this same assembly I added the gun well bulkheads,
on the sides and backed them up with right triangles as well
because they need to be drilled out for the cannons later.

Ok all in place!

Time to dremel out the opening for the cockpit tub.

![[Image: 100_2051.jpg]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a40/3dimensionalmanagement/A-wing%20small%20scale/100_2051.jpg)
After that is done I place a peice of styrene underneath
to capture the shape of the opening, the objective is to
make a plug for forming for the tub.

![[Image: 100_2060.jpg]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a40/3dimensionalmanagement/A-wing%20small%20scale/100_2060.jpg)
From there I just build up on the plastic
with some pine 22mm high.
![[Image: 100_2076.jpg]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a40/3dimensionalmanagement/A-wing%20small%20scale/100_2076.jpg)
And here it is the formed tub.

![[Image: 100_2081.jpg]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a40/3dimensionalmanagement/A-wing%20small%20scale/100_2081.jpg)
This is the bottom hulll cut away just like the top, except there is a ramp
down there, that will have to be made later.
![[Image: 100_2044.jpg]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a40/3dimensionalmanagement/A-wing%20small%20scale/100_2044.jpg)
center section mocked in with some panel lines
drawn but not all.
![[Image: 100_2043.jpg]](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a40/3dimensionalmanagement/A-wing%20small%20scale/100_2043.jpg)
Now some detailing in the tub.

Still more detailing needed in the tub, need to make controls
and seat.
A few mocked up pics with stabilizers,
and the rear F-16 like intakes I made out of poplar
and then hollowed, going to have these cast for me.
