You can sand and shape the blue foam and it is more stable. You will have to make a parting line so you can remove the finish part from the fuselage. After you get the part off dump gasoline on the inside to melt the foam. I have made several race car hoods and noses with this method. If you are just making one part you will have to sand and finish the outside. If not you use this part as the plug to make your mold.
