| Ingenius, Poppy, I never would've thought of it, or the shrink tubing either. I guess I'm not very imaginative. |

| Shrink tubing...that is. |

| Great minds think alike...Exactly how I made the LG for the Rat...except shink tubing from Radio Shack was added instead of tape...put it over the tubes, heat it a bit and it shrinks to size tightly! |

| I am glad you posted this as I have not as yet thought about a rear wheel for the Rat! |

| The main gear is 4 pcs. of al. tubing, wire from kit, spreader bars are sheet styrene cut to shape, trim tape, and fine phone wire for brake lines. All are ca'd and painted steel. I left the shock unpainted. Tail wheel is a 1/48 P-38 mainwheel from goody box, wood dowel, trim tape and sheet styrene cut and bent to shape. Tire is charcoal black. |

| Super fabrication....I am almost finished with the fuse on the Rat....the poppy process! |

| Hey Poppy what do you use for the tail wheel that attaches to the tire and how do you make that shock on the main gear? |
| poppy, Image # 7215 | 19 Mar 08 17:48 |
Main gear and tailwheel finished. |

| Beautiful detail poppy, I really like it! |

| It's just really hard to believe this started as a Guillow's kit. That is, until you see who's building it. Beautiful!! |
