Construction is very similar to that of the lug mounts - a piece of laminated balsa wood is precision sanded into a curved shape to conform to the body tube:
The mount itself also gets marks for locating glue-spot rivet detail.
Here is the rivet panel with cut-out section removed and replaced by the smoke stack mount.
After the application of some rivets made from Aylene's Tacky glue spots, the mounting plate gets brush painted with some flat aluminum enamel. I am not necessarily going with precision spray paint jobs on this model because I want to achieve more of a hand-made look.
Darn it...I just noticed that some of the balsa grain didn't get adequately filled. Too late to fix that, so I must move on.
Finally, here is the unit all glued up.
Next stop - an air scoop. Stay tuned.
