This is the round wooden base I made, printed the Swedish roundel in adhesive paper, and placed it on the top of it. Also I have used an inox bicycle spoke to link the base and the plane.

I epoxy glued the threaded end of the spoke to the model rear exhaust, in order to place the spoke afterwards.

Unfortunately the decals I printed became kind of translucent. But as there is no solution, I will leave them this way..

The yellow transparency od the swedish roundel over the silver foil, gave it a golden look. Although not accurate, it made a beautiful effect.
