Looks great,,,,,Like a vintage freeflight.

Thanks! That's what I am aiming for. This is using all original materials on this run except for the tissue; that is left over from some other past kits. I may end up building another wih new wood sometime down the road.

For some reason, domestic tissue looks just right on vintage builds.....

I was considering painting it at first and after covering it I think I will leave it as is and just paint the wing and landing gear struts.

Back in the day Comet used to sell colored tissue.

Yeah, I built some Comet kits back in the '70's, then just got back into this a few years ago. The yellow on this one is left over from my Peck-polymers J-3, and the white is Guillow's. I have been getting my other colors from Easy Built. BTW - Your work on your planes with the color tissue is outstanding!

I like using colored tissue, leave painting to the pros like David Duckett.

You got that right! I just appreciate this website to be able to learn from the pros and to see great models displayed.
