I used Mod Podge for the gloss and solder for the hinge. Switches are wire and solder.

Used balsa for engine block and the plastic cylinders from kit. Used a Testors clear flat spray and it looks much better. Washer is press fit onan aluminum tube to hold prop. Yes it spins.

Nice carving of detail parts.

Decided to make storage compartment door work. I'm not a fan of cardstock, so most peices were replaced with balsa.

flight surfaces covered with silkspan and 4 coats of clear nitrate dope. Last time I did that was in the 50's. Guess I'm getting old.

Removed stringers on top of wing for better scale apperance.

decided to try hooking ailerons together with miniature belcranks. They do go in opposite directions, but not that well.

Decided not to use plastic nose from kit. Motor sits in front of this piece.

Started this last winter (2012-13) and am now painting, finally. I bought a set of Cleveland plans for more scale detail. Note extra ribs in wings and tail surfaces.
