Marcol--I'm such an idiot. I totally forgot you had posted these pics before, and I commented that I thought it looked like a Roto engine. Damn nice BirdDog, The "toothy grin" is a great touch. One of the planes I'm thinking of modeling has something similar.

The working landing light is another detail I'll build in. What did you use? While I was poring over the plans, I happened to think that the size of the lights looked close to the reflector of a AA size Mini Maglight flashlight. So..... I took one apart, and guess what? It is such a perfect fit you'd think it was made special for the plane. I also used one for the landing light on my Super Decathlon's cowl (goes just under the prop hub). It was one of the few salvageable pieces left of the cowl when I tried to take the shortcut to China

Notice that the BidDog pic is a mirror image (reversed) print. The landing light is on the wrong wing
