I made this creeper style lure as a retirement gift for a friend that works with CL-415 water bombers when fighting forest fires here in Ontario, Canada. The lure is made out of local basswood and painted to match the actual aircraft colors and lines with the exception of the registration that has persons name used instead. Water based Createx was airbrushed over top of a sealer and covered with Etex for an extra tough finish witch may be overkill since he told me it will never see water and is in a framed shadow box in his house.
