Great looking Model. I sure do understand about BUSA plans, I have ran into that before and it is very much worth mentioning for those who have not built a BUSA yet. They make awesome kits but as with any kit there is a hick-up there.
I really like your USMC version from 50th Aero Squadron. I myself being a Former Marine am planning on doing A USMC Version from Squadron C Northern Bombing Group. I noticed you stayed with the Early Airframe. I was hard pressed to find A USMC Bird in that version. I am planning on changing the Fuse to resemble the DeHavilland 4 D1 used by the USMC. I will need to Square it up however will not strech it and will keep the tail moments as designed. The Rudder will also have to have a new profile. I have also decided against the Laminated Longerons. I ordered Spruce in the Finished Dimension from Aircraft Spruce and Specialty company co.
