Tom, I remember back in the early 90's I built my first 1/4 scale clipped wing cub. I used a coping saw to
cut out all the inked parts. My hand looked like Fred Sanford's after he got an attack of arthritis. Needless to
say I baught a scrolll saw for the next one.
Ya, those Sig Crafstmen Series kits are a bit of work. I use a bandsaw to cut the printed parts. I eyeball the sticks and twigs, though, using my razor saw.

"Next one" ? Good man ! I'm glad that you didn't stop after the first one. I didn't either. I like the challenge. They're more fun, than the jig lock construction of modern kits.
