I do a lot of company airplane weathervanes. Just completed this drawing for a UPS pilot who used to fly the DC8.

Will post a pic when completed. The aircraft will be 20" long.

Here’s the completed project. I have to realize I don’t have a high def plasma or laser when drawing these up. I left at least .060 between all areas and came close to burn thru on some of the areas. Some of the initial pierce holes are visible since there was not enough room for lead in lines. Used hypertherm fine cut consumables, 14 gauge steel and 150 IPM feed. Client was happy with the project.

Awesome project! I flew the DC8 for about 18 years and loved every hour
in it.
