Prominent scoops supplied air to cool the afterburners. I can attest that the are solidly attached and refused to move when struct with my head.

great progress Lou, I think the Voodoo is a sleek looking aircraft. Best regards Paul.

The Voodoo has the most complex shape of the Century Series aircraft. I have since added wing fences. Your support is appreciated.

Wing fence added. The undercarriage bay skin strengthener is yet to be formed.

Very nice, there are certainly a few contour changes to work on. Have you got the blanks cut out for the March ping yet?
