Question:

Does anyone know of another large-scale pattern design prior to the Simla? As we know, Simla was designed and built in early 1965. We have what we believe to be very early photos of it dated May 1965. In addition to Ed, some of his airplane buddies, (such as Kurt Dimberg and Les Fruh), built their own large-scale pattern models at the same time...but were there other large pattern designs prior to 1965?

I don't think so. If you have evidence of any large-scale prior to Simla, I'd love to know about it, and hopefully see a picture here.

Thanks

Duane
