Canada's Hornet Pt. 5

I finally came to a decision about the landing gear on the CF-18, and I'm leaving them down. Therefore, I decided to do a little bit of detail work on the interior of the wheel wells. I took average copper electrical wire, shaved off the protective sleeve and bent it to shape (Note: Make sure the wire isn't live or attached to anything before doing this ;D ) I then cut holes in the plastic model and glued down the wires. This added some really easy details for dirt cheap.

Tiger Tracks

I finally started the tracks, after much humming and hawing. The worst part is cutting them all out and placing them in a jig(see photo). This is not overly challenging, just very tedious. After this you just spread glue on them and wait until they are tacky. My best advice for this part is be very, very, patient. I used plastic cement and left them for 2 days and they still are bendable. More on tracks next week.
