Piper l-4 grasshopper
This is the original Piper L-4 Grasshopper from Fiddlers Green.
It was the next one on my list to detail, so I figured I'd go ahead and get it done before doing the New L-4 (soon to be released) The detailing includes: adding all clear windows and cockpit interior, wooden wheels & new Prop. I used the cockpit interior from the new regular size J-3 with some modifications.

That is awesome, Bob, and I share Zathro's observation- you show what's possible to get from a FG model with some extra work, attention to detail, and ingenuity.

This is terrific, Bob. I have been trying to build a decent version of this one for some time. You've really nailed it.
