I've been meaning to comment on this one. Got a little busy, so here is my $0.02...... Tooo Cool! As much as I dig seeing those 1/4 scales, especially the ones detailed to the max, it's those large FF glow's from even before my time, that R truly my favorites to see @ the field. Probably because they R so rare to see. (y) to U for building one.
thanks man that means a lot coming from you! your gb was the first build i followed along with.

So long story short I bought this kit off of eBay for 10 bucks, not gonna give much of a backstory but here’s how the progress is going. It didn’t come with a wing but I can hotwire one up real quick!

To reduce the wrinkled size, take a pin and at one end of the wrinkle, prick it with small hole. Then start from opposite side with heated iron and iron forward and air will escape and allow you to seal it.
