RE: Ziroli P-47 Refurb COMPLETED!!
Thanks again Gentelmen. The wingtip lights were something that I included that the pre-refurb did not have. I experimented with a couple of different methods to shape the lenses but ended up using a heat gun that we used for covering our models. The lens itself is a clear plastic that I got at a craft store that shrinks when heated. The trick was to apply just enough heat at just the right location in order to avoid distortion, etc. Took a couple of attempts, but finally got a good result. I used flite metal in the inside of the light housing to create the reflector effect. Looks really nice in person.
Evan, thanks for the compliment. Good to hear from you. Looking forward to seeing Hairless Joe II.
