I started working on replacing the parts that were missing when I bought the old girl tonight. I have done a little casting before but never anything like this. I picked up the Alumalite casting kit at Hobby Lobby using the 40% off coupon. It includes resin, mold material, clay, cups and mixing sticks.
After a little trial and effort, I got a couple of decent casts, although they will need quite a bit of clean up, they will do. I made 2 antenna bases, 1 track link to go on the turret and a couple of Vietnam era Huey pilots.
Here on are the antennas, they are made of piano wire. Making the loop on top was a rough, they aren't perfect, but goode enough.
Next I have to get everything cleaned up and painted.
