Ercoupe Model 2
1/26 size Ercoupe model built in 2008.  Clear aspen sealed with fiberglass resin.  Wing walks are clear decal material painted black, cut out and applied to model- easier than masking and painting them on.  Wing ribs on Ercoupes were zig-zag instead of running spanwise.  Ribs were simulated by applying .010" strip styrene to model and blending in with thick layers of paint.  Control surface demarcations were engraved using a 1/32" engraving bit in a Dremel rotary tool
