  Another one from the bits box. Started cutting on 24/1. Now at the stage of finishing.
  Basswood fuselage and tailplane. Balsa wing.
  Plan is to finish it off in Cream with red trim.
  Straight from a plan I found on the web . Scale works out at about 1/53 ish.

Very nice, Gordon!
Looks like a large model (what's the model's wingspan?).

  Painting has started.  Colours will be Cream with red trin. Used Humbrol cream. Have put a thin wash of white over the fabric
   covered areas and have put in the ribs with Vallajo "ice white" very light cream colour. With the exception of the ailerons
   the top surfaces and rudder have been done. Will leave the bottom of the wing till later.

  Pics to follow

  Was contemplateing the idea that it would fly with a bit of tweaking but thought better of it.

Wonderful workmanship on your Goppingen Go 3 Minimoa. This must be your shortest project. Congratulation on a beautiful model.
