Hi there ! I am pretty new here and I love the ambiance here !
I actually build my first heli scale. It is a Uh-1, I already have the fuselage (Heliartist unpainted).
This one is good but some details are not realistic, and I'd like to make it realistic !
The most important right now is the tail see the picture underneath :

You see the edge ? It's not sharp. Look what I'd like to have on my model :

Well the question is how to do this. My first intention was to make it with this kind of blue foam really compact I don't know the name of it. But I thought that this can be easily sanded to have the wanted shape. After that some fiberglass to finish it.
Well in that case I don't know where to find this kind of blue foam (I hope you see what I mean !)
So what do you think about this ?
Do I take the wrong way ? Or if you have a better idea please share ! :p
Thank you for your help !
By the way you can see my model I choose there (http://www.grubbyfingersshop.com/walkaround_galleries/Bell_UH-1B_RSAF_258_walkaround/content/index.html)
