DavidR -- glad you cleared up the issue of not being an "ASS".

Yes, I am in the right forum. I am currently building a full size
RV-4, but I have been a modeler since I was kid, and that is longer than I want to think about. From control line up to 1/4 scale. I have downsized to the smaller planes now so that I can put most of my time into the RV-4.

To me, airplanes of all sizes go together. How do you think that a prototype is first evaluated ? Don't you think that we can all learn something, whether it be from a model or the full scale ship.

I am amazed at the quality of work that goes into the scale models. You have to love it to put in that much effort. My hat is off to you guys.

Kevin -- thanks for answering my question about the rivets in a mature way.
