| Thank you Don and Ed, this is a fun hobby, but you need a lot more patience then I am typically known for. |

| Nice smooth finish. That's a really good start to stick and tissue. Glad you liked it.

I am very happy with the balsa wood build, but I need more practice on painting and decal work. Loved this build and cannot wait to apply my lessons learned on the next plane! |

Just need to add nose cone and rear tire. Not sure it if will fly, but I am glad to be nearing completion of this project. |

Almost finished with this build. Work, life, vacation and distractions all took my time from this model. |

| Yes it did.

| Don, you are right! I am really enjoying this kit. Easy to get the pieces out (the laser cut makes the difference). The directions are a bit quirky still. I love the note that says some of the "L" pieces on the fuselage are attached before the stringers. It took me forever to find where to put the L4 pieces. |

The wing seemed to come out well, the dihedral is big (1.75 inches) and it looks pretty good. |

Technically, I should not have made the cut on the trailing edge of the wing, but I am getting more used to working with a dihedral. As my confidence grows, mistakes like this are less intimidating. |

Got to use my new balsa wood mitre to make the cuts. Not really a need, but very exciting to use a new tool/ |

Took my time and laid out all the pieces. |

The fuselage coming along |

| That was my second build after a 45 year layoff. Good kit. You'll like it. |

Starting on a new build. The experience I learned from the two SE5-As, the Mustangs and the PT-17 Stearman should pay-off. |
