Classic Scratch Building.
There was a time when airplane modeling was almost totally a scratch building hobby.No kits,special paint,aftermarket or decals.It was a form of woodcarving basically beginning the same way as most 3D woodcarvers begin even today,with the band saw.Actually the band saw is a modern (?) development ordinary handsaws and ,if you were lucky a coping saw were was all the rage back then, with the average modeler building at home.

 Courtesy of Xacto. Although not WW1 the methods are the same, only a little more complicated. Last edited by JohnReid; 9 July 2011 at 06:00 AM. |

 I would find a friend with a band saw that has a fine blade or cut outside the line and use a belt sander to complete it. |

 Courtesy of Xacto. Tape could be used instead of nails or the small holes can be swollen back out using water or alcohol if you in a hurry. Last edited by JohnReid; 10 July 2011 at 06:29 AM. |

 For most open cockpit WW1 types it is about now that the opening for the cockpit should be planned. |

 This is an extremely important point,do not carve or sand away your center line until the very end of the shaping process.
