Default RE: Help! Tri R Models Mooney 201

Well, I have apologized to Zeke's Park Scale Models: the Mooney kit arrived, in perfect shape, via Priority mail, today. So, all out there, fear not, Zeke's is real, and good, and sells laser cut short kits of Mooney parkflyers, to anyone, even we impatient-types.
Per my TriR Mooneykit, I dragged out the plans, they are four blueprint sheets, no ribs are depicted for tracing. There is a front"view" with various fuselage formers shown "in the flat", overlapped, as if they were stacked, I can't ascertain that they are all depicted. If you COULD trace anything, or hired a kit cutter to produce the ribs & formers, you'd still need to make a clear vacuum formed "canopy" with all the windows, which will not be easy! I don't know how one could build this kit, without the kit, but I am a beginner at al this.
Or, spring for the $40. to get a smaller version from Zeke's. Look at www.aero-labs.com for pix & a video!
