thanks chicharrero, The Abrams Explorer, built in 1938, was the only one ever created and was uniquely designed for aerial survey and mapping functions

Nice work... That canopy looks like an adventure to build. The wierdo planes have always been a favorite of mine.

great work. I think the canopy looks very difficult...especially with a dull Xacto knife. speaking of wierd and unusual planes...can you make an HE-177 Greif...PLEASE
