SE5A 1/5 scale any tips or photos on a similar scale build would be appreciated.

I am about to begin construction on a 1/5 scale SE5A any construction tips or photos of past builds would be appreciated. It is a Bel Air kit I have the plans but very little on construction. I have built several aircraft in the past including a Sopwith and other planes. This is the first though that came with no building instructions. So I am on new turf here.

Never built anything like that myself, but perhaps it might help to look at instructions for other kits of the SE5A?

Bel Air's own website has a downloadable build guide
Probably one of the best sites for reference material on actual 'planes would be Wingnut Wings site, if it's still running?

I viewed their downloads and the only thing they have is a 2 page instruction on their smaller electric scale SE5a.

Well, that answers why there appear to be two different prices on the kits. Some model manufacturerrs are just not helpful
