THE realistic toy plane

the U. S. Navy Corsair.
The body or fuselage is turned in the
lathe as shown in photo 2. The cockpit
cover is also turned on the lathe and
then cut in two parts lengthwise. This
part is then hollowed out to fit the
contour of the body and glued in place.
The wings are band sawed as shown in
photo 3 and doweled to the body, The tail
surfaces are sawed from a plywood and
glued in slots cut in the body.
The spinning propeller is cut from
celluloid or clear plastic and glued to
the hub. Paint the toy blue, and decorate
with model airplane decals. |
