What would be the best way to get a transparent looking water. maybe silicone or something built up from Plexiglass? Ill be putting lights underneath to shine up.

You could use clear acrylic rod and run 5 minute epoxy down the rod. I've used 5 minute epoxy to simulate running water by spreading it out on wax paper and pulling it off the paper after it's dry. Elmer's White glue works too.

Hey Devildog,

I've got a Flight 19 dio in mind too for down the road. Have you found decals with markings for these aircraft yet? If so, whereabouts?

Thanks,

Chris
