One more shot of the missiles. The noses are clear plastic dimples cut from goggly-eyes. The real missiles have cameras in their noses. |

I cut two parallel lines the width of the plastic, and the diameter of the inner circle in the plastic. I notched between the two lines and press-fit the "propellor" onto the cone. Again, it is removable for transport.The tailbone was then attached to the fuselage using a butterfly clip. |

Using Ted's tail cone, I had a another friend cut out a 12"+ diameter piece of clear plastic. I painted the prop to look like it was spinning. I probably should be a bit more subtle, but with the yellow warning strips, it came out pretty effective. |
