RE: Pica kits
BCP...I built the larger size Waco many years ago and some of the of the areas are a little grey but a close study of the plans and good builing sence is all that is needed. As stated above the Pica kits have been around a great long time so they must be doing something right.
I sold the plane as an ARC to a life long flying buddy who fell in love with the plane and said"Name Your Price" and off it went...About a year latter he finished it and was flying the hell out of it and it really did look majestic...he did it in white and red scallops on both wings and it is still in service after about 10 years.
I'll see if I can find some pics. of it and post them here.
