Default Wing Tips for Somethin' Extra

Has anyone made custom wingtips for this plane. The thick flat standard tips look a little silly to me. If you have can I see some pics?

Default Somethin Extra with round wing tips

I like mine rounded. Flat looks too boxy. I also like a cowl on the somethin extra.

Well they look pretty good. I was thinking Kurt meant rounded like a Cub or a Gee Bee.

You will have to construct your own with some patience and skill. This Somethin' Extra is an older kit, not an ARF. The ailerons were clipped and the wings capped. The cowl is also custom. I love to fly this airplane, it will do almost anything.
