| He's 19 and doesn't play with them anymore. The parts are soft plastic, they cut and glue nicely together. |

| The center of each piece has a square so I could align all the parts on square brass tube. Each piece has the edges etched, so when assembled, the cooling fins are prominent. The drawings are things I gathered from the Internets. |

| The engine block. Stacks of plastic. Most of this will be hidden so I just drew up the basic shape. |

| The wood piece is from the original kit. I drew up these parts and had a friend that owns a sign shop laser etch and cut the parts. Fortunately, the Piper is only a four cylinder. I may do this for my Douglas A-20 later. Lots more cylinders there. |

| Paint is stripped. The black stripes were model acrylics. The white was Liquitex. The Liquitex came right off with the ammonia-based Windex. I decided to fix the tail; some wrinkles I didn't like. This is ordinary spackle that will get sanded and primed. |

| Not one of my finer moments. I decided to start fresh. Stripped the acrylic paint with Windex. |

| I had vinyl masks made and used acrylic paint through an airbrush. I think the water based paint would pull away from the edge of the masks because of surface tension. So I would add more paint. The paint also did not stick well to the olive drab. When I removed the masks, I removed a lot of the graphics as well. Plus, a lot of bleed under. |

| Very very nice detail!!! |

| The paint is spray from a can. The details, stars and bars, buzz numbers, etc, will be airbrushed. |
