Is this to be a full-scale mock-up? Or an actual replica? Are you aiming
for airworthy?
This is all so fascinating, for recently I have become aware for the
first time of a number of persons building full-size 'models' of various
aircraft. For the most part, these are completed in wood, and as far as I
gathered do not include any kind of interior detail, excepting in the cockpit
and perhaps engine compartment(s).
Is this in ther realm in your project? Or not?.....
