These were in sad shape! I used the foam for door and windows to fill in the ugly holes.. sanded, applied JD Weld epoxy, sanded.. and sanded ,, and sanded painted and used that aluminum tape.. very hard to work with.. but came out pretty good Now she is ready for flight!!!

Thanks! The wings look better from a distance.. which is fine when they where installed. .. you can see slightly where i had to shape the front part of the wing .. but I am over it.. LOL.. they are defiantly not perfect .. but I am willing to live with them. HA

They they look just fine to me. I don't think I would ever notice. There are quite a few things on my trailer that i notice that other people may never see. Just remember the 20/20 rule, has to look good passing you at 20mph or from 20 ft

Very nice job on the wings. I didn't know they made them out of plastic as well

wow.. I had never seen wings mounted on the side like that.. Kinda cool really.. maybe double wing them.. I really like the look of them sticking out like flight. But that's pretty neat! Thanks everyone for the compliments.. and love the 20/20 thinking..lol.. Yep! .. Those wings were hard to work with.. with so many holes.. but I only paid 10 bucks for them.. plus my labor, materials, and a few glasses of wine!! they stressed me out a few times... walk away from the wings..LOL
