Super Coverite Gee Bee D
I picked up this kit a few months ago from a buddy. While waiting for Thanksgiving turkey to cook I decided to punch out the parts. This must have been a later run kit as the dies were pretty worn. I got everything out and then cleaned up. Monday I started glueing parts together. The only change I am making to the kit is to run dual aileron servos in the wings instead of the bellcrank set up. The power will come from a Saito 56. This is going to be an old school build. I have never silk and doped and airplane but this one will get that treatment. Should be fun. Here are some pictures from where I am on the kit as of now.

Cool! I built one of these 20 years ago and bashed it to a Gee Bee 'X'. It was a good flying airplane with an OS40fs. What color scheme will you put on it?
