Aerial lines
I used thin fishing line for these.
Coloured Nav lights
These are nicely moulded by SW but what you don’t need is the Carpet Monster raiding your workbench for one that will leave you needing to scratchbuild two new ones! Enough said…
Wooden prop
Interesting this as from the accompanying photo the wood grain effect seems to be very fine, unlike some other aircraft that have a very distinct ‘broad-line’ laminated and polished pattern? For that reason I decided to spray the spinner red, as per the instructions and then mask that off, along with the metal leading edge strips and paint the Tamiya Buff (XF-57) base colour. When dry and using a broad flat brush Ra Umber oil paint is drawn across the surface to create a fine wood grain effect. Again, when ‘dry’ (about 24 hours), semi-gloss varnish is sprayed over the whole prop. The metal leading edge strips are painted in Citadel Colour Bolt Gun Metal.
