Default RE: Scale headset, where to find?

It's the Sig 25th Anniversary kit. I also wanted something other than Cub Yellow, so I am doing a Cream & Black motif... with additional accent colors to be added. Wing struts are hand-fabbed from aluminum airfoil and brass tubing, yes the gear is Robart. Koverall and dope,with Nelson Hobby paint brushed on with a foam brush.

Thrust will be provided courtesy of a Saito 90-TS opposed twin. Just tonight, I fabricated the rough beginnings of the air scoops for the engine out of thin Alclad aluminum sheet; they should look really nice when riveted to the cowl, and should accentuate the engine nicely.

Here's a couple'a pics. FlyerInOKC, you post some too!



Lots of work left to be done. Finishing the cowl, painting the numbers, detailing the landing gear, cockpit, you name it.



I think the lightning bolt turned out real crisp. Frog Tape is great stuff! Love that Saito twin, can't wait to maiden this bird.
