I wanted to let Gary know that his models do get built. Here is his Optica downsized to 1/48 scale to match the recent Beaver model from Paper-Replica. The tail surfaces makes this model a little tricky to build. Definitely not a model for the beginner. The only thing I’m not sure of is the forward facing registration numbers on the right wing. It looks a bit odd. But then again, it’s British. Many thanks to Sir Pilsworth for another great design.
I’m waiting for the model of the largest private rocket launched from England, Top Gear’s Robin Reliant Space Shuttle!
