Small update on the Lun and almost ready to get her across the finish line. I made some windshield wipers out of wire and added those to the windscreen area. I then added some Pledge Floor Care to all the glass to brighten it up a bit. Stay tuned.

Thanks, guys! Well, the Lun Ekranoplan is done. I made the port holes using Kristal Clear and then added the canopy (or bridge?) glass along with the fore and aft gun turret glass. I also added some corrosion streaks running down from the portholes. I used some two-part epoxy on the mounting post to ensure it stayed in place as well. More pics in the gallery! Now I have to figure out where to display it.
