I look forward to seeing your modifications to make this bird more accurate.

Amazing, going cross eyed looking at it.

Great, you have a lot of ability to build on small scales

Dear Don and All:

Almost done. More than accurate, I try to simplify the construction as much as possible. One of the things I do is to "glue" digitally the fuselage. In this way the top and the sides are already aligned and I have one piece rather than 3 pieces. I did the same for the wheel and covers. I fuse them and leave them 2d rather than 3d and I regret not doing that for the struts.

ps: Your very nice Curtiss 75 recolor has this simple construction quality.

And thanks to Pucara for sharing the model!

It looks great, and much more accurate per the line drawing. Smart idea to simplify construction by digitally joining parts before printing. I've done that myself a couple of times. Really nice work on this vintage model.
