Finished! The final finishing took longer than I thought it would. Diels kits are a bit of work but well worth it. The painting of markings and finding suitable numbers took some time. I've not learned to make scale props yet, I decided to do Frank witho |

without props. I just hope the purists don't get me. |

I don't think the purists, or the color police, will mind at all. It looks fine to me.
Jerry, there's more room for comments if you'll post the picture first and then bring it up again like this. The amount of space for comments is limited when you make the initial posting of a photo. |

Very nice indeed.
What did you do for the wheel collars? Cannot tell, glue a small nut over the wire? |

Thanks for the info Dave, I'll try it the next time I post a foto. Unfortunately my modeling days are over for a while. I have Urner Neuropathy and I am scheduled for surgery monday morning to move a nerve from one side of my left arm to the other side of my arm. Then it will be splints for a while and then a wrist brace. I maybe 6 to 8 weeks before I'm back at it. |

Xanadu the wheel collars are made by Du-Bro Cat.No. 137. They are 1/16th plated Brass Dura-Collars and come with an allan wrench. $ 1.45 for a set of 4. Should be available in most RC Hobby shops. |

Great job. Paint looks like weathered Nippon brown. Well done. Good luck w/operation. |

Nicely done. Good luck with the surgery. I've recently worked for a medical device company that made nerve monitoring equipment. They can really do some amazing things these days. |
