Angelspushing, as someone who for years and years (most of my teen years) built only static models to hang on the ceiling of my bedroom, I can appreciate what you've done here! Looks really nice. You've done a particularly good job of weathering your plane. In fact, there's nice detail everywhere I look. Below are a few pix of my BUSA Eindecker "conversion." I too was shocked at how non-scale the kit was. I wouldn't even be so kind as to call it sports scale. It's little more than an Ugly Stick with some scalish trappings. Anyway, after building the wing(s) I also decided to do a scratch-build using the Joseph Nieto drawings from the NASM as a basis. So the fuse, full-flying rudder and stab, cowl and cowl cheeks, and undercarriage are all scratch built. And of course I cut the wing in two to allow for a full cockpit. The only reason I kept the wing was that I DID intend to fly the plane and figured I wasn't ready for a wing-warping aircraft and needed the alierons.

Anyway, here are the pixs including a couple of flying shots and one of my last hanger-queens built over 20 years ago. BTW, it's a shame to waste your obvious building skills on non-flying models. Come an join us in the scale RC community!!! There's nothing in the world like seeing the labor of your love rise off the ground and soar through the air!
