The prop halves were glued together with Testors plastic cement and Squadron white putty was used to seal and smooth the edges and Micro-Fill was used to finish the last small gaps. It was then painted with clear dope to make the plastic accept the acrylic paint more easily. The color is raw sienna with raw umber added to darken and when dry the dark color is brushed loosely and lightly over the base color creating streaks. It was then sprayed with Top Flite crystal clear. |

Poppy said he used piano/music wire for rigging so...this is .020" wire. Bend a short length to 90* and insert in the hole made by a pin. Mark the length, I use paint, and cut. Lay wire on part and put a small drop of medium CA on it. Moral: Always trust your Poppy. |
