Re: need help with widebody
I use .020 and .030 styrene sheet for my widebodies and custom body work. I start out by gluing a strip to the wheel arch that will provide the platform for the rest of it. Then I go from there cutting shapes out of the styrene.
It takes a bit of thinking outside of the box to invent it.

Re: need help with widebody
welcome to AF!
build a basic shape with styrene bits and pieces and then make it more round and built with putty(epoxy putty would be best). do some searches about widebodies, putty, styrene, plastic, and also look in the how-to depository. i was looking around in there earlier today and i remember seeing a how-to on making fender flares by appleseed.
