Don't worry about the wood being too light. If you have managed to cover the model and not have had the wood break or warp too much, you are doing OK. Also, I have found that light models rarely break from flying - the damage comes mostly from handling. |

Thanks for the comments. Its only my second build so I'm pretty pleased. I am a little worried the balsa I used (other than some of the kit wood) is almost too lightweight. It may go from looking like a plane to a torpedo just on the test glides. |

A little beauty! |

Great looking and light too. At 20g, including rubber, you have the potential for a great flying model. |

Finished. Final weight is 20g including some additional nose weight and rubber. Will try to fly as soon as possible and take some photos if it stays up long enough. |

How is the weight? Also can't wait to see here in the sky. |

Nice line and rivet work. I look forward to seeing some flying shots soon! |

Line details added, not exactly correct but it gives the right impression. Im almost sorry I have to try and fly it but its all part of the fun. |

*LOL*... Don't ever forget the "flying it into the ground" part... |

Just ink lines, decals and a few touch ups left to do....oh yeah, and flying it into the ground. |

I'm sure there's something missing... |

Wings are on, time to get some colour on. God enamel dries slow. |

Not as good as I hoped but not as bad as it could have been. Need to try to tidy the odd edge here and there. |

It must be Hurricane month. Guillows design vs Dumas. The end products should be interesting! |
