Been working on this for a while and thought you might like to see it. It's small... only 1/6 scale. It packs a punch for details if I say so meeeeownself! I grabbed this full scale photo of a similar bird. Here's some bones.
Plug- mold- part! It was really just that quick... 1,2,and 3!

Dianna Cream SIG dope sprayed today:
It's gonna have a nice 'office' for the cool pilot to 'work' in, too! I've got all my stencils ready so the red color won't be long in coming. I forgot to mention that this airplane started 'life' as a SIG Cub kit. I used Paul Matt's 3-views of the PA-12 to get it to the shape it is in today. Bless you Mr. Matt- wherever you are! I'm sure he is in airplane Heaven!
Yeah baby! Looking good Michael! It does have a tow release right?

It's not complicated, bigger is better.
Hows this cream and red beauty doing ??
Oooops! Forgot about this thread, so sorry! Petr- release? Oh yeah! A 1/6 tow plane for 1/6 sailplanes! Josh- no tundra tires for this is a scale example of airplane as drawn by Paul Matt. I love the tundra tire Cubs! Youtube has a ton of vids of them and their pilots! Got the engine mounted and finished 'fake' wing tanks and their fuel caps and handles. Making inspection covers which look like shallow round dishes. Been mulling the windows and how to secure. I haven't built many airplanes that require them. I've got to get the red dope on it and have good separation lines at the windows for the interior is cream. Len, that radio will control this one, too! Mulling, mulling, mulling....
