23. Working rearward from F-4 toward F-10,
glue the bottom sheet pieces into
position. The inboard edge should be
centered on the keel (F-14) and the
outboard edge should extend past the
fuselage side. Glue the 1/4"x2-1/2"x6"
balsa sheet to the bottom of the fuselage
behind F-10. When the glue is dry, trim,
and sand the bottom sheet flush with the
fuselage sides.
Continue the "V" shape of the bottom all the way back to the aft end of the model by sanding the bottom of the rear 1/4"
sheet.
24.
Glue the nose block into position on the front of the fuselage. When the glue is dry, carve and sand the nose block to shape
using the following steps. The first thing to do to shape the nose block is to draw the side profile onto the block as shown.
Now trim the block to this outline. The outline should be slightly oversized.
25.
Now draw the top profile onto the block
as shown. Now trim the block to this
outline. The outline should be slightly
over size.
26.
Sand the bottom of the block with a fore
and aft motion to match the angle of the
"V" on the bottom of the fuselage. You
can draw a centerline on the block to
assist you.
Finally, sand the top corners round and smooth the block all over.
Now sand the fuselage smooth all over.
