  Always wanted to do one of these.

I've had the magazine in the picture for a long time.

Looks a bit warts and all at the moment . The marks on the wing panels and tail plane are for the cotton thread rib tapes.

Everything is balsa with the exception of tail plane which is ply.

The propeller is 3 lamination's of 64th ply

This won't be finished by the end of the year but early on in the New Year.

That will make an interesting model.

Should do. I've got some decals made. Depends on what you read as to the colour scheme .
I'm going to go with white overall with black trim.

Also in between this and the Stirlings  is a bit of a side project.

That's what I thought too Lou.
The Macchi will as well.

Gordon

Some progress . Wing struts are from wooden coffee stirrer. locating pins from copper wire.
The propeller is for the D-VIII. I'll do a new one for the Floh.

Looking good, regards Paul J.

Nice. I know that you accurately portrait the craft but is does look like an AirToon aircraft.

Lou

[Boomerang]

It does look a bit weird but it's different. I suppose you could squash it up bit more to get the
Toon effect. .

  From what I've read there was a bit of thought put into it. Minimising drag etc..,

Have made up some wheel covers from thin plastic and they have been glued to the wheel blanks.

A new propeller has been made.

Had to  reshape  the nose profile.

Details yet to be added to wings. Radiator and fuel tanks.

That leaves the undercarriage.

Pictures to follow.
