FOO FIGHTERS buzzing
the FLAK EATER!! This Hasegawa B-17 is in 1/72 scale, so I
guess the foo fighters are too. Made from old ball bearings carefully super
bonded to their attachments, they have been a bit of a conversation piece. I
made them a few years ago, inspired by a TV show on the subject. They were
not difficult to construct. The only tricky part was getting a good balance on
the triple " mobile " set. (and taking the old bearings
apart )

mm in diameter, the triple set is 4,6 & 8. They are suspended on 2 lb.
test fishing line with a .8 mm clear plastic rod attaching the triple
set.
