Thank You Dr.!

Great Build!

Beautiful Work! Very Realistic...

UP IN THE AIR! I decided to display the Vette Jet floating above a rectangular base. Here is how it was done... I picked up a 6 foot length of clear 3/16 inch rod from Tap Plastic and a bag of Plastic Tube with a 3/16 inch hole. First I drilled a hole for the Tubing. Then I put some glue on the end of the Tube and slid it into the hole until it touched the inside of the body. Made sure it was straight then I put some Zap-A-Gap around the tubing on the outside of the body. I cut off the tube flush with the body. Here it is with a length of Clear Rod in place. I added another Tube of the same on the front of the Vette. The Base is an AMT Product. I found these Bases in the 12th scale Cord and a 16th scale Corvette. I drilled a hole for the Tubing and glued it in place. I positioned the Tubes inside 2 collars inside the Base. I added a larger Tube around the original to make it more secure. Then I added a small piece of plastic on the end, as a Stop for the Rod. More Coming...

Thanks Ray!

FRONT WINGS! I cut 2 Front Wings from .080 Sheet Plastic and glued them in place with Zap-A-Gap Green Label. Notice the Wings are mounted along the main body seam, this saved a lot of body work in that area. More Coming...

Thanks Andy!

WING DETAILS... I decided to add a length of Half-Round Plastic Strip to the edge of the Wing. This should make a nice rounded edge. Here it is in place. I cut some plastic to fill in the rear of the Wings. Here it is in place. More Coming...

Looks Great! Real Nice Lighting...

VETTE'S GOT WINGS! I glued a length of 1/4 inch wide Plastic Strips, on the sides, to position the rear Wings. I sanded the edges where the Wing Ends come together, for easier gluing. Then I glued the Bottom halves of the Wings on the body, below the Plastic Strips, with Zap-A-Gap, Green Label. I glued the Top halves of the Wings on the body, along the Top of the Strips. I also glued the Wings together on the sides. Then I glued the Wing Halves together along the Front Edge. More Coming...
