RE: Scale model
A question to the OP, what size kit and what kit manufacture did you get?? You spoke of folding wings and running lights. Do you plan on flying this plane?? Some of these mods takes the skill of a true master builder, not just the local club builder and working folding wings are a true feat of engineering. Zirolli kits and plans are the number one for scale planes and they really take a lot to get one as scale as you are talking. Just wondering because this is a 96 inch giant scale but the size is one of the reasons it is used so often for true scale building.
