This is a 1/48 scale CF-5. The tanks are asymetric so a lathe won't work. here's a pic:

That looks like a job for modeling clay! The type that hardens. Then mold in two parts. As I have said before. Some of the custom made parts are a shame Not to duplicate them. Imagine the stockpile of parts that could be traded! I made molds of the wing tips I made for Merlin's Magic. Bill
