You will also need a 5/32" drill bit. This will make a hole for the peg rod that will need to be reamed to fine fit the rod.

I assume step 4 will deal with obtaining bases, maneuver decks, and airplane cards for all these custom aircraft.

There are several make your own cards and bases of the forum, so we now have the complete effort documented. Enjoy and share!

The image archives on this website and the lists on the Wings of Linen wiki (in the Game Data section for each plane) can help you find airplane cards for various types.
