The seat appears to be made of canvas on the original. Carved from some balsa then covered in surgical tape to give some texture. Colored with a yellow hi-liter to not fill in the texture. |

I built this as the XP-936 which was the prototype. A lot of changes from the plans and the paint scheme is a little bland but thats the way it left the Boeing factory. The exhaust running into and out of the fuselage did not turn out like I wanted it to look but it is what it is. |
