You're updating St. Harry with modern stuff, I see you use CA for 
glueing your wings together which HW probably would have done if CA had 
been available. I vaguely noticed the 1/48 thing, but discounted it as 
a typo, not surpised it was the magazine.
I've been meaning to photocopy those plans, but I imagine they're already
on the internet somewhere, so perhaps it doesn't matter if I forget,
 which I usually do.
I get SAMI in batches of half a dozen (swap for AerMo) so have been able
to read all the articles in one go, just got the rigging to read now. 
It all makes sense and is a good read. I didn't go to sleep even once!
