This is the version of the Acro Deltas I am going to build.

I started to cover the outboard wings with supermaket acquired aluminum foil.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/7/0/6/1038706-46272-63-720.jpg)
The plastic injection is awful and very thin.

The canopies does not physically match. I will have to solve this problem.

Dry fit with the outboard wings and the fuselage section.

I had to reprint the decals, as they have just broke when placed in water.. 🙁

This is the round wooden base I made, printed the Swedish roundel in adhesive paper, and placed it on the top of it. Also I have used an inox bicycle spoke to link the base and the plane.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/8/3/1/1040831-46272-44-720.jpg)
I epoxy glued the threaded end of the spoke to the model rear exhaust, in order to place the spoke afterwards.

Unfortunately the decals I printed became kind of translucent. But as there is no solution, I will leave them this way..

The yellow transparency od the swedish roundel over the silver foil, gave it a golden look. Although not accurate, it made a beautiful effect.
