I made this design 10 years ago and decided to upscale it. I may kit this as another one to ad to our growing kits. I just not sure the interest is there but I sure want for myself.
I just started rough it out.

The fins need some adjustment still. She's about 44 inches in length. The boat tail I turned on the lathe but it will be molded and cast in resin. The canopy is Vacumformed and the actual canopy will be clear PETG so I can have clear windows. Nose cone is custom resin cast with panel details.IMG-3333.jpg IMG-3297.jpg
 
Currently the windows are masked. The canopy is primer white. Boat tail plug under construction. Making a silicone mold on it today. Boat tail will be resin cast too and the engine mount lower section fits inside. Pr-slotted BT and laser cut fins.
