Pfffft. Piece of cake.

My plan was to convert it for a a N type. With the Temeks, you would also
like to replace or modify the spinner (which should be more pointy) and the
real trouble here is the cutouts in the fuselage sides for the wings. When I
thinned the innner fuselage walls, I left my fuselage parts with unsightly
holes which didn't matched the thinned wings. I still have to fix that, I
know now how to patch those. I also "sharpened" the stringer lines.

They're beautiful inderdaad.

Watch out for some images offlist

I guess that there are some other bits out there. Rudders, at least.

As many years as you want to. I bought mine on pre-list days, from an ad on
FSM. It came without decals.
