The mirror reflection of the engine adds to the glimmer and shinnyness of the engine compartment behind the cowl.

I brought the engine to life by gluing that chrome "backplate" , cut to the shape of the front of the former sitting directly behind the engine, with the chrome side facing forward towards the engine

Please pardon me for my over-indulgence overkill of pictures in my build threads - it's that darned "new camera syndrome" exuberance!! Please indulge me a few more .... This kit has a neat little detailed engine of built-up balsa and laser cut card stock for the cylinders. To enhance the blue-gray color of the engine, I made a chrome color "backplate" out of adhesive-backed (peel 'n stick) Trim Sheets from Top Flite, which are made of Monokote, which come in many different designs and colors, including 5 checkerboard schemes and neon colors as well.

These props are not really that hard to carve. Just give it a practise try on a soft single piece block of balsa. This was my 7th out of 8 props - 2 of which were practise.

It came out as 3 distinct wood grain colors repeating in the prop.

I then hand carved and sanded the Axial prop, stained the whole prop with "Golden Oak" color, and then clear coated with Krylon Clear Gloss.

I let the 13 painted rectangle plank sheets dry completely, then I white glued them all stacked together and clamped them up in one big prop carving block of 13 layers and let it dry for one week.
