Video of first Cowl that I pulled out of the mold. First I made the plugs, then Mold and then cast parts from the molds....

Also there are lower air intake scoops and aft cowl dome sections were made from there own molds.

Well Iwas lucky enough to see some for real living close to LHR in late 1950s . Perhaps one of the most elegant and evocative airliners ever built. Many congrats on such a superb model and every success with flying it.
