laid over a pre-shaped foamboard core and once the
fibreglass had cured the foam core was cut out from
inside the fuselage using the bom bay as a convenient
entry point. Any remaining foam was disolved using Nitro
thinners and taking care to avoid the noxious fumes this
generated.

I carefully washed away the remaining foam core using Nitro thinner to
disolve the foam, wearing a mask and doing everything outdoors.

part two
I chose to model the Tamiya Avro Lancaster rear turret and install it on my Stirling model. Some reshaping of the rear fuselage was called for, as the turret had

conformed to the Tamiya Lancaster turret, without altering the shape of the Stirling’s rear fuselage.
