Nice! Thank you for the tip

Thanks ---

I've just edited how many cuts I made, I did five actually.  Depending where you place these cuts will determine how much of a curve you can get, closer together you can get a fairly small curve, spaced futher apart will give you a more gradual curve

Now that the plastic has hardened again, I trimmed the excess plastic off, cleaned out the insides of the air intake and made the walls a bit thinner, then sanded it up a bit  (top pic).  Next was to file a nice groove into the side that mates to the missile using a round file close to the diameter of the missile.  The scoop measures at about 1/2" long

Voila ---

one scoop glued onto a missile --- now I have two done, six to go (or maybe more)
I just need to put the tail pipe in though.

Now, that's what I call scratchbuilding!  Amazing.  You can turn even a simple scoop into a handmade work of art.
I am seriously impressed.  I know, I know, you think it's easy.  The rest of us think it would be easier just to get YOU to make our stuff!
