I just made these replica pieces out of some junk parts that I had. The Zero is made from a Lockheed Electra rudder and the Nazi dive bomber fin is made from a Beech Musketeer tail. I weathered them to make them look more like artifacts. I plan on taking them out and shooting holes in them this week to really finish them off.

Thank you! My goal was to make these look like spoils of war. I saw a photo once of the tail of a Zero on display at an officer's club and I thought that was kind of neat. |

Your welcome. I prefer the salty look that you went for as well. Sort of thing that a GI or a Marine would bring home in their duffel or seabag, dings and all. |

Did you think about painting the Electra tail fin in Amelia Earhart's markings?

I can't believe I didn't think of that one. I might have to remove the Japanese markings now! I think I like your idea better than mine. Jason |

Afterwards, you could leave it on a beach in Hawaii or California, and watch the hilarity ensue!  SN |
