[glow=red,2,300]HOW TO MAKE WINGS![/glow]
I needed a wing that was bigger than most 1/25th scale wings. So I used 2 Wings!
I started with 2 "Stinger/Trick T" Wings, some plastic "Channel" strip, and sheet plastic.
I cut 4 strips of plastic Channel, 1/4" X 3/16". Then I glued them on the top back of the first wing.
Next I attached the bottom front of the second wing on to the 4 Channel Strips.
I made the first Wing Fin from sheet plastic. I made it oversized and cut it down a little at a time untill I got the shape I wanted. Then I traced the Fin shape on to sheet plastic, cut out the second Fin and sanded both Fins together - at the same time.
Here are the Fins glued in place...ready for primer!
