Harv was good enough to send a wing to use for prototyping.

Quick question Harold , I was under the impression that the top didn't taper at the back end. Your thoughts?... Harv

The wooden prototype did. The production tapered back but I think had a flat section on/under the rear of it, but I can't find good refs that show it.

I think I have enough info now to correct the upper fairing.

Are you doing a full F4U-2 conversion or only the pod?

So far, just the pod itself. Maybe more later.

Plus the exhaust, right?

Yes. Exhaust flame dampers. The LS set also has bomb racks that look pretty good. There is also the radar scope for the IP. But there are NO pics of it so don't know how accuret it is....Harv
