Arts and Crafts DIY Kit P-51 Airplane Cedar Warbird Weathervane Whirligig USA

Description

This wooden Airplane kit is cut from 1/2" Cedar and has a wingspan of 20" . It mounts on a 3/8" x 4"  pin that's included. The Kit includes everything but epoxy glue,  paint and the tools to make this airplane whirligig .
This kit will arrive quickly and as pictured. Step by step Instructions are included. The instructions were written for our DC-3 kit and can be followed to assemble the P-51 except the P-51 has no " propeller motors "  . We've drawn 1 propeller blade for duplication. The difficult steps have been done and we believe this is a kit for a person with some knowledge and familiarity using saws and a drill ...  a drill press would be ideal in drilling the propeller bub for enlarging the 1/8" hole to 1/4" for the bushing. Maybe not for beginners . Your plane should be sanded and sealed to last as long as possible.
You'll need to cut out the 1/8" thick propeller blades and assemble the propeller . Then square inside corners on the plane and fit the plane together and drill  holes for assembly. Then paint the plane in the colors and insignia you'd like , glue ( epoxy) the stem and pivot ball in place and viola !
These cedar weathervanes will weather gracefully and last at least a decade or more outside barring any  physical assault.
We use cedar for the plane and mahogany for the propeller hub, Cypress propeller blades, stainless steel stem , galvanized screws , nylon bushing   brass propeller screw and epoxy
