Added the copper-colored bracket over the silver for a bit of artistic license and "blind." Most will be hidden under the fuselage and behind the wheels. |

Used glossy paper self-adhesive labels for brackets. No messy glues, no chance of spreading thin films of glues while positioning the brackets. |

| Xanadu, thank you very much for your suggestion and towerhobbies website. Watching videos on YouTube, I've seen a number of modelers using socks, but no one called it to my attention as to why. Now I know. Again, thank you, |

| I found out the hard way too to always use a iron sock. They are cheap and disposable.http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXB363&P=ML |
