I have started to cover the model with tissue that has details printed on it from a laser printer. The advantage of a laser printer, compared to an inkjet printer, is that the color is completely water proof.

Looks great, I thought the canopy was one piece.

Weight for uncovered framework, cowl and proopellor is 9.5g.

The supplied canopy was pretty disappointing which is unfortunate as this is really the most valuable part of the kit. It comes in 2 pieces that need to be glued on the center line. The plastic is also thick and heavy at 3.6g. I am going to form my own canopy.

I cut out the center of the plastic cowl and inserted a balsa disk. The disk has a photo of a Wright Cyclone glued to it.

I substituted contest balsa for most of the kit wood. I also used 1/32 balsa for the fuselage sides.
