RE: Scale Birddog
What do you see in the various kits and plans that is so far out of scale? I ask this because I have Vailly's plans for the 1/4 scale, and the kit cut by Precision; can't seem to get started on it for one reason or another, but it WILL get built.
I have about 150 detail photos of two extremely nice, recent restorations of L-19/0-1's, and I also have Minard Thompson's most excellent resource book, "The Lovable One-Niner" which has about 99.5% of everything you need in order to build a master scale model of this aircraft. After comparing the pictures and plans to the drawings and info in the book, I can't find anything so out of scale that a bit of the normal desire that a builder has to change things can't fix. There is a very nice version of the Vailly 'Dog in this month's MAN. Not enough pics of it to suit me, I'd like to see a complete article on just that plane.
