Default RE: BUSA D-VII BUILD @ EAA 2010

The rebuild so far is just the wheels re-painted and new guns done. I have to wait until friday for the new kit I think I will do the same aircraft this time but I will try to get it correct this time. I read on RCU somewhere about a person that used white and black shoe polish mixed to stain or dye his wheels white. Were Fokker tires white? Boy, the things you need to know... and I know that there are a few non scale things on a DVII from balsa. The wings are flat bottom, The struts are not right, the rudder is too big (?), the cock pit is not wide enough. Have I missed any? Even with all that, I still love this bird.
