Default NEXSTAR...TO...WAR DUCK !!!!!

Having just recently soloed....I crashed my Nexstar. Not sure I really have the hang of things yet, but working on it. I really like the
WARBIRDS, but I am not qualified to fly them yet....SO.....decided to rebuild the Nexstar.....AND.....add a little WARBIRD in it. Since it
is not really a WARBIRD......I call it the WAR DUCK !

Took almost all of the Dihedral out of the wing......got rid of the pesky tricycle landing gear and made a tail dragger out of it, and
re-covered it in ugly Army Green monokote. Its the first time I have ever done anything this extensive on a plane, and had to have my
cousin help me with fiberglassing the wing joiner in place (for extra strengh). Now I am wondering......"will the guys at the club let me
fly "formation" with they're "for real" WARBIRDS ? (that might still be a little dangerous) Anyway....here are a few pics of the
creatiion.
