Highly recommended!

By: nscrfns (Killeen, TX)

Laser cut high quality balsa is great! Fit of parts is awesome. I built this as a display model but I think this could be built into a good flyer. I substituted silkspan for the kit tissue. Aircraft dope to attach & shrink silkspan. Scratch built MANY parts to get the detail I was after. Complete scratch built detailed interior. Williams Brothers cylinder kits. Fishing line used for flying wires. Beading wire used for control cables. Nice challenge to get the detail level where I wanted it. Pictures of completed model uploaded. Highly recommend this kit. Good job Guillows.
