FROG SCREEN!

I bought this Splatter Screen at the Dollar Store. It makes Great Screen for Models.

I cut a piece a little larger than the opening. Then I fit it in place and pushed the screen into the opening a little and then I flattened the screen down around the opening. Next I put some Zap-A-Gap around the edges to hold it in place. I also sprinkled some baking powder over the wet glue to hold the screen better.

INTERIOR PANELS!

I cut two pieces of sheet plastic to fill the sides of the interior. This gives me a flat area for the doors.

Here are the Panels in place. Notice how the Panels fit flush with the door edges.

FROG FIREWALL!

I made a Paper Template for the Firewall. Then I traced the shape to a piece of plastic and cut it out.

FILLING IN THE HOLE!

I made file card Templates for part of the open area on the rear deck. Then I traced the shape on to plastic twice and cut them out.

TWO MORE STRIPS!

I trimmed the edge of the strip on an angle and fit it in place and then made a second strip to fit.

Here are the two strips glued in place. I forgot to mention that I enlarged the opening to clear the Engine. You can see the marks where I did the Cutting.
