That's just gorgeous.
It's almost a shame it will be painted, the wood looks so good.  :o :-* 8)

That is a work of art, sir.

After this contest is over, could we get a group portrait of all your planes together? You've made a few over the years that you've shared here on LAF.

As an aside I managed to print out the scale drawing (top-view) for the I-25 Submarine which launched the Glen floatplane.  At 6.5 feet long the model will certainly be a challenge to build!

Have really enjoyed watching this build - it shows that traditional skills still have a place in the digital age.
