Centuri Flying Saucer #5325, Part 11, Finished?


This was fun, and a good challenge getting everything to fit!

This smaller 75% size makes it more manageable and will get a better altitude with C6-0 and C5 engines.

The only thing different is the engine mount tube sticks out the top. I could have had it extend out the bottom, but it might be more stable with the engine weight forward.
As with all home print models, you do need to clear coat the water soluble printer inks. If the model lands on wet dewy grass, the home print inks will run.
When I sprayed the copy paper wrap around the engine mount tube - it turned a bit transparent! The brown tube was showing through the white wrap. The glued areas stayed white.

It wouldn't matter to some, but it bothered me. We'll fix it in an upcoming post.
