Thanks for the comments. I did use the Nieto drawings but this is still going to just be a fun scale airplane.
I'm impressed that the fuselage is the correct length and width, that the wing has a scale outline and is in the right place, that the tail feathers appear to be the correct size (even if they're non-flying), and that the nose/cowl is a scale length and width. Those features alone make your design vastly more scale than 99% of the eindeckers seen. More experienced builders probably wouldn't have any problem converting the tail feathers to full-flying versions. I can understand your decision to use an orthodox airfoil with ailerons, since only serious builders are going to be up to the task of incorporating a wing-warping system and all the functional cables and rigging that entails.
