| The model is covered in Top Flight Silk Span and doped with Eze Dope. Love the water soluble dope. So much easier to work with then the old Hot Fuel Proof dopes I used in the past! I used Vallejo Acrylic paints with an airbrush, and a fine drafting pen for panel lines. |

| This is the first balsa model I had built since the mid 90’s. I discovered the West Wings kits through ebay and decided to build one. Very happy with the kit. Good quality wood, easy to understand construction. Nothing surprising, just a good kit to get back into balsa model building. |

| I have a Dremel and the Dremel work station so I chucked up a cutoff wheel set it to the heigth I wanted. Was able to push and turn the pipe so I got it cut to the proper length. Left side is before cutting. Center is the result of cutting. Right side is c coffee lid with and without center cut out. Turns out a coffee lid fits the new cowl perfectly and has a lip on it which I am hoping I can use it to provide the correct profile. |

| It looks like the crankcase is going to be about 1" point to point. Ignore the outer circle on the yellow paper. Let's see if everything fits. |

| Went to Home Depot and spent about an hour wandering around looking for material for the cowl. The perfect size diameter for the cowl is a 2 in. ABS DWV Hub x Hub Coupling. Looks like a slip joint to me. |
