In my last posting, I believe I mentioned I'll be working on the tail feathers. Here, I am fabricating the control horns. I thought I would give it a bit of "bling" by adding eyeball-straining tiny brass colored beads as bushing. I purposely had my thumb in the picture for scale. Notice the itsy bitsy tiny bead. Ouch! |

if any one is interested in bondo I use this stuff in the black tube called "bondo - glazing and spot putty". It is premixed, drys fast and about $7 canadian. I find its much better for large indentations compared to the hobby lite which I cant seem to apply properly. Unfortunately the bondo does require really good ventalation because it is somewaht toxic. |

End result. The cap was a small circular piece of brass that was punched out and glued on top of a small ring to give it depth. Not bad, eh? |

The Vintage Aviator revealed that only on the left side was the turnbuckle. Like the small turnbuckles used in the cockpit area, I cut small sections out of .006" brass tubing and used small really tiny beads. To thread them back over themselves was a challenge. |

Left a portion of the end a bit loose on purpose to give it the illusion of the cable holding it down. |
