>so is the fuselage close enough to that of the Morane

>will become McKeever's a/c.  I am really thinking the
>Eduard F2B would be better for the conversion because
>the fuselage isn't broken into as many pieces as the
>Roden kit and therefore allows the shaping process to
>be much easier, although I'll need to obtain the
>Datafile on the a/c  and make fuselage cross section
>gauges to get the shape right.
