Although the Eduard parts are 1:32 scale, they seem to work perfectly in this 1:33 scale model. So far, the fit of all parts is very good - and I like the tab and slot method for the frames in this kit.
Yes, that is the idea, stretch the idea box to include other materials to turn out a true scale protypical air craft. Like what you have done. Keep up the great work.:DRick
