That is a nice looking plane sir. I like that black outline. Your work and this thread will be very helpful to me as I do a 1/4 scale eindecker. How long before the maiden ? I skimmed through the thread but could not find the scale. What scale is it? I ask because I'm ttrying to determine how long my Elll will take. I was figuring about 1 1/2 years . Good luck and thanks ahead of time for solving some of my problems.
