Scratch building, although not a jet this time. Actually building my first plane in many years (decades), and I'm really enjoying it.


Brian Taylor 83" Spitfire. Wing is scratch built from a plan using part of a laser cut wing kit. Self modified to accept Sierra retracts and to have plug-in wings rather than a one-piece wing, along with additional scale details. Incorporating 3D modelling and access to a laser cutter and 3D printer has opened up another aspect of the building side of the hobby.

A jet kit is next on the build list (Kerry Sterner Sea Vixen).
