              This is one of those planes that I can see why people like it, but to me it looks like a pregnant guppy. (I think the same of the EE Lightning.)

                  Good choice Lee. A lot of the planes in this GB are 1/48 so it will be interesting to see how this, smaller scale, builds up by comparison.

                          Yes it’s a multipurpose plane for sure that does attract.

                              Jim I appreciate you stopping by. I chose this one because it’s was in the stash and a low parts count I want to try to finish this one to add to my collection because I don’t have one.
