| Next I am going to paint the prop to simulate laminated wood construction. I have a set of 1" diameter WWI style wheels in the mail from Shorty's Basement that will be added as soon as they arrive. |

| This photo brings out all the dust that was on it. Shame on me for not cleaning it up before I took its picture. |

| Nest step is to add machine guns and a pilot. I will fly this if all this southern California rain we're having translates into some tall, soft grass. I am not going to hold my breath though. |

| I had to use three types of tissue on this stinker - domestic on the bottom of the wings, esaki on the tail feathers and silkspan everywhere else. For some reason, I could not get anyother kind of tissue to agree with this thing but the silkspan. Everything forward of the tail is sealed with two coats of flat clear dope. The red is airbrushed "italian red" acrylic and the white tail is designmaster floral paint. |

| Not scratch built, but a Sterling peanut scale. This was one of the harder builds I have done. Printwood, peanut and paraspol - the three p's of frustration. |
