The museum was getting anxious so I got it prepped to hang without some of the hardware. Ted was helping me by turning some bombs on his lathe. |

I apologize for hogging the site, but I'm cleaning files and getting ready for a new build. James, could you add an ARF F-16 to the list? Thanks. |

No room on the couch (davenport) to sit down. You can bet I did not walk through the house with it assembled. I could barely handle the 3' wingspan of the Piper Cub without hitting something. Good thing I'm not a pilot. |

The parts of the plane under several layers of Bondo, primer and final paint. |

Great stuff for adhering clear parts. I think it is the same stuff that watchmakers use to attach crystals. I bought it at a hobby store. |

The basic structure is from the model. I cut out the small windows and filled them with clear plastic, probably from some of those packages that are impossible to open without a nuclear device. I made the reflector from mirror paper from the art store. It took a while to figure out the shape, but it seems to look ok. The base is from that PVC box I cut apart. The slots slide over the wooden frame in the fuselage. |
