Well after some rounds of pickle ball and lunch I came home and abused some brass tubing .
This is what I came up with . It didn't photograph well
I see more grinding and sanding in my future....Savages !
Getting ready for a club meet now :idonno

I did all but melted it trying to get more colors out of it.
When that didn't work I applied some Matt VA. and then mixed with some assorted MIG and AK pigment. rubbed it onto the still hot tubing :laugh: till I liked it :coolio
Finished with some sprayed Matt VA.
Cheers. C. B)
Nothing looks like metal than metal. No one can argue about the right colors that's for sure!

In order to make that step disappear I chose to glue some styrene strips to the low part of the cowl and several hours latter sanded it down .
Now to do the other side before polishing it.
Looking forward to moving on. I'm gonna have to make a jig for the outer wings since they only have butt joints :smack

Wow, this took a lot more work than I had imagined :frantic
Sand , fill, sand , paint , cuss , repeat.
Finally got to a respectable place.
Now to make a jig to align all the wing parts....

That's showing it who is boss.
Well , it was more time consuming than I had expected. That's for sure .
Now comes an even better part once the wings are attached . Seems they forgot that they should be the same thickness
Oh well it's only plastic and files :fencing
Hope you were not looking fro something fancy. Betty Crocker gave up her all for this
Two stop and a 6 degree dihedral... No big deal.

So the parts are just suggestions?

Pretty much . I think that once upon a time they supplied wood, drawings and a rabbit's foot.
But I digress :idonno
