Quest OOP Nike Smoke Build Part 4


Two strips were cut off the Popsicle stick, 3/16" X 1 1/2"
The original Nike Smoke kit had a thick plastic lug measuring 1 1/2" long.

Both were glued together with white glue.
Clothespin clamps held both together while drying.

After the standoff was dry, it was sanded square with a sanding block.

The lug was glued to the top of the standoff.

Here's my built-up lug set next to an original MPC style plastic lug on a old MPC Nike Patriot. In comparison, the old MPC lug looks big and clumsy. That plastic lug was included in the OOP Quest Nike Smoke kits.

A little trivia: The MPC Nike Patriot was re-named and sold by Quest as the Nike K.
