RICHARD'S RECYCLED DAY-FRAN GLIDER PROJECT

Hi Woodsy

On my Day-F-Ran Glider, where the round Wheel system was - I inserted a Cap off an old Shower Gel Bottle - perfect size !! - painted it Chrome Silver, so it looks just like a Big Lift Engine !!

I painted all the glider inside Silver, so the orange plastic looked good on the outside, blanked off the rear wheel wells with black plasticard painted & detailed the Pilot & Cockpit, added loads of decals & Striping to the body & had some PROJECT SWORD Stickers made off the web - 

really pleased with the way it turned out !!

Hope you like it.

    Beautiful. Looks just like something NASA would have flown in the 1960s.

    1. Thanks for all the kind comments !
      One Glider is enough I guess, but, if I ever come across another one at the right price I would snap it up !!! - it would be rude not to !!

      The glider is a cool & simple design, which often is what works best !
