    Also Janx... how close is the larger Firefox? I would love to do a build up. After doing this build I want to do larger with balsa supports... just so the supports don't fall over all the time.

    intake separators backward, at least symmetrical :crash: Nozzles. Top separators went better :mrgreen: Canards. Canards removable :cool: with my friend electrical tape.

    Hey internet ghost town. more build progress. just decided to trim the wings until they fit to my liking. weighted down with scissors. not too bad. only looks off if you look at it from the front really. oh and gap on starboard wing... think i can fill it with paper. idk if...

    Getting those engine intakes attached to the wing is a bit awkward. Not sure really how but the lower engine nacelle just isn't wide enough really. I'm most concerned about joining the next wing secton as there is a 1/4" gap between the wing and the narrower nacelle after the wing slot...

    Didn't know all that cool stuff. I had a kids book that had a pic of the Firefox miniature attached to an arm. The book said the miniature was guided by a computerized recording of the movements of a real jet. Background was added in later, looks unrealistic by today's standards... surely more...

    Haha... this is definitely not the real 31. The wooden board is from my graphic design/artist college days, they had us do 'traditional' graphic design projects that required a hardwood drawing board. (it used to have a super nice finish). I've been thinking about making a display case...

    Score everything.... and more. Looking at the 3D file really helps with this piece in particular. Na nana nannanan na.... BATMAN ! Glue in the structural support... lots of glue like bonding a Lotus Elise frame together. Does anyone know where XS8 should go? I may just throw it in...

    Thanks for the support. I had a look at the PDO on my PC at the office (as at home it's all Mac). Love how Pepakura shows which piece on the 3D model goes to the sheet!

    Help HELP... SOS I'm a bit stuck. I know that I have mislabeled pieces... but some of these just don't appear to be present. Perhaps when I converted from the pepakura viewer using the print-as-pdf function something got messed up. Do you have to cut #26 the dorsal engine covering...

    That could turn out really nicely. Get all the shiny-ness of the original Firefox scale props. Then painstakingly paint on all the tiles. Off subject a bit. I know that Will B. / wbnemo has a 3D files of some sort that this is based on and is the product of over 15 years of research. Why...
