Today I spent my time working on the tail skid . I tossed the PE part and new struts got fashioned up using steel wire . For the post I drilled out 0.25mm stock rod and super glued it all together . A few more details need to be work out but I'm getting there .  I didn't have the right size on wire of any kind ...going to have to restock on this stuff . So plastic rod was used to form the rings . To shape this a hoop was formed to the size need and at the junction it was clamped . Off to the kitchen I went and put on a small pot of water bring it to a boil . Running the cold water tap for a few minutes getting the water as cold as one can . REMOVE THE POT OFF THE STOVE TOP BEFORE THE NEXT SEPT  ;) I held the hoops in the hot water for a minute and then right over into the cold water . They now will hold their shape making the rest of the details easier to manage .

Well done Terri. The hoops are a light year ahead of the PE and the tail skid looks great.

Great work Terri!  The tail skid is a challenging component on this bird, and yiu have done very well with it.  Looks the part and should function well.

Best,

Great work as always Terri. The tail skid must be tiny in 1/48, looks great.

Thanks guys !  :)

Richie , yes it is a small part to work with . I had to make a few of the struts a couple of times , some even lost to the carpet monster over the course of a day . And a few which i trimmed to short  ;)

Good use of the hot water method for shaping plastic Terri. The tail skid looks very good indeed - much better than the kit parts.

Never used the hot water method - always something to learn here! :)
Small Stuff describes another heating method for deformed resin parts: put it under a 75 Watt lamp for half an hour, and the parts are go back to its old shape  8)

Those little details needs time, but make an important contribution to the overall impression. Well done!

Cheers,
