Default Scale Bushplane kits?

Anyone and Everyone,

Anyone have any leads or ideas on a good scale bushplane kit? I am looking for something in the 70" to 80" span and wuold love to find a C180, C185, Supercub, Maule, Husky, Citabria (could be modified into a Scout), C170, etc. I know there are a couple supercubs out there, but they are all bigger than I want and I definately don't want an ARF. I have been building for 20 years and can't stomach the ARF craze that has taken over the hobby (although, there are definitly some really high quality ARFs coming out as of late).

I have been contemplating a Top-flight C182 and then modifying the empenage and rear fuse to make it a 180/185. Has anyone done this or seen it done?

Any ideas are appreciated...looking for a winter project to be ready to fly off the snow at the end of the winter and then on big inflatable Dubros this spring and summer.

thanks,

Darin
