Nothing like using paint to made wood look like... wood.
The laser cut parts are not only somewhat scorched at the edges but are made of a plywood that is darker in the middle. I painted the whole thing with a spray tan color, then brushed over a liquid water color for a grain effect. It turned out pretty well.
This thing.I really had to dig to find out what it is. I could not find a single photo that showed one of this plane with this large tank like thing in the fuselage.
Someplace I finally found a similar plane from the same period, for flying over water, that also had one. It's just a large float, in case of a water crash.
This assembly, all wood, has two halve and two connical end pieces.
It got filled, sanded, filled, sanded, primered, sanded, filled, primered... I can't even tell how many layers of paint and filler went on before the final color.
