Don, your efforts should give others incentive not to trash a model simply because it's splintered. One of the benefits of building with wood. Reminds me of a Ukie Stunter I pile drove into the tarmac at Floyd Bennett Field , NY in the late 60's. Saved every piece and restored it.

The NTSB could use a few good modelers to help with reconstructing downed commercial aircraft. There's a US Airways jet liner from the Hudson River deadstick landing at a warehouse in Harrison, NJ right now.
