Eagles Talon X-13 Verijet!

[Andrew Gorman]

Notched the finlets, sanded the leading and trailing edges and rethought the landing gear. Do I really want it to look like a Cessna Skyhawk?  Thinking about something more suitable for a test mule. And made cut marks on the flimsy and blobby vacuformed canopy. Not psychologically prepared to cut it out yet.

Great job on the vac so far. I have a few in the stash, many unfinished.

Thank you! Polishing the canopy with toothpaste has helped clarify it a bit, and the obligatory dip in Future should help more.  But there are some lumps and pits that will just have to stay.  The molded in framing is more complicated than the real world version.  If there was more time and I was more ambitious I could use it as a master to cast a resin copy and break out the Mattel vacuformer.... I can't get the spatted Cessna Skyhawk look out of my mind, so I'm adding the hook and posing it in flight on a stand. At some point in the future it will be on a truck anyway.
