and I like these two as well. I have a great appreciation for that kind of detail work. I was never able to master the art of rigging the wing wires in this small scale. Maybe I'll have better luck with the 1/4 scale Air Camper I'm working on. It should be easier with an 84" wingspan and about 1/10 the number of wires.

Seversky made some cool looking aircraft back then. I didn't know they sold some of these to Japan.

Are you familiar with Squadron.com? they have a large selection of early era aircraft in this scale. That is if you get tired of scratch building. Once you get the bug for designing and building your own it is kind of hard to return to kit building.

Once again, great work, and thanks for sharing.

It Is Indeed Oddly Proportioned, Sir The Magistrate Jan 2012 #11

I would suspect the horizontal surfaces have more to do with the rolling. HopeHoops Jan 2012 #14
