I'll cover it when I build it. Still building a 52" biplane. Although it is a "kit", the light plastic bits just finish it off. I still need to scratch build all the airframe per the plans.

Painting coming along on my Sopwith Pup. May get it “finished” this weekend. Accepting that it will never be completely “finished”!

Looks great to me. I've started substituting card stock for poster board - easier to work with.I put a Mini Scout together tonight. I love that it's one sheet of DTFB and it looks great. The poster board turtle deck didn't turn out great, but it's not THAT bad,.

I haven't built it yet but I'm thinking of a mighty mini version of the Bixler or the FT Explorer that will make a good trainer, FPV platform and motor glider. I'll probably post pictures of it when I'm done.

Got this photo of my mini Miles Hawk Speed Six sitting on the wing of the full size! Next time I visit I’m planning to do the same with a 13th Squadron DH88 that’s started but has had a long hiatus. One for the winter build schedule.

Agreed. I do that too, and even made a template so it's just a matter of printing onto it and cutting it out, instead of using the overlapping tiled version on the plans:

any plans for that beautiful racer?

Errr - yes and no. No beautifully presented plans like 13thsquadron or the FT ones that Sponz does. But I do have some basic plans that would probably be good enough if you were an experienced builder?

I'll take a stab at it if you feel like sharing the plans.

OK. It’ll be a couple of days until I’ll have time to dig them out but if you can be patient I’ll share them with some basic instructions. Hang tight for a few days.

wow thats beautifulWell that about enough cutting for one evening. 52" Liberty Sport. Been busy making my masterpiece (so far) in balsa, but itching to get back to a DTFB to replace my PT-17 that's looking a little worn out.
