Neil,

Question: does the foam shape have enough self supporting strength to hold it's shape if you cut windows and such without any glass applied?

When building the tail, I continually put glass on the inside to give the foam enough supportive strength to avoid distortion, while adding yet more foam.

Just a question my part about your shapes current strength.

Jim.
