Just a little philosophizing...
For me the whole point of building WWI era aircraft models is that we can actually make them with something like the same construction techniques as the originals. And even use somewhat comparable materials. All that changes once aircraft moved to all metal construction. I love the looks of quite a few of the WWII birds but I just don't have a burning desire to model any of them. The detailing is all on the outside.
I guess I just prefer to do scale detailing from the inside out rather than the outside in.
