Default a different look.... for a 4* 120

Hello, I wanted a different look to my 4* 120 and so I did a few things that you see here. I used the back 1/3 of the canopy and made a windshield. I added a carved headrest, I rounded the tail feathers, I got a LG from TnT that is thicker and 1" taller and put on light Cub wheels. The tail wheel is a CB/T unit. The real job, (don't think I'll do it again), was designing and building the side mounted Saito 150 in a "cowl , of sorts". I cut off the right cheek, cut it out for the cylinder, and made a top cowl section that is mounted to the motor mount beam and is removable.
This was only my second kit and I really liked the Sig laser cut parts. (I don't like the folded plans!!) My nose art, added after this photo was taken, says, "Sweet Thing". I sure hope that it flies like her name!!!........lownslo...
