I'm not familiar with the batting. MomHawk uses the polyester stuff that you have to soak in water and then looks fluffy, but it does dry out over time. I like the concept, like @Spuds says, worse case you take it off.

The stuff is sort of a lighter version cotton batting. Hanging out just behind Catzilla's butt.

OK Mustang kit has arrived but before I can construct I have to do some deconstruction. This will be the third nice Tamiya kit in a row that the first thing I did was break out the saw and cut it up!

This very picture.
I think it fell off more than was cut though. Mustangs wrecking performing for crowds is obviously much older than we ever thought!

Well, it looks like they got the landing gear down before the tail fell off. Do you know if it was moved from the original crash site at all?

The disassembled pictures are on long grass. The recovery truck is even in the crash scene picture. My guess is that they lifted it and lowered the gear in the hopes it would hold together enough to be towed. It didn't.

Ah ok, I wasn't sure if it was just a trick of different cameras messing with me.

Found LEDs that are the same size as the "projectors" that I drilled out. Perfect fit. Didn't have to drill into the shrouds. Time to drill holes for the taillights.
Wtf, the forum flipped the second pic upside down. Bah |

Lighting is something I have never tackled! It scares me.

It's not too bad. Would really help if you had a small/tiny soldering tip. Mine is a larger tip, so it makes soldering these these LEDs, especially the SMD ones, really hard.
I'm sure you have the skills, and then some, to tackle on lighting. Although, I'm not really sure what exterior lighting planes have. |
