    Gosh that's a pretty nice looking build you got going on there. Is there a build thread for it?

    Glad you like them. Let me know how the contour one works out for you once you get a chance to use it. I made one for myself but the plane I just finished building I zippered the LE of the wings I i had to use the regular block.
