    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I received the rear seat parts that I had covered by my mom but unfortunately I never thought about matching the profile of the front seat. I will have to redo them. Or maybe it's a small enough issue that I keep moving on.

    I've had covid for 2 weeks, not bad until late this week when I finally realized I needed to test. Trying some progress on the cub today as my energy is better. Touch up of a painted area to get started this morning.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    The numbers do not align with conventional numbers but it is a great little kit. 2000+ is pretty fine in any application.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Happy New Year! Traveling, flu and family in town has taken me away from the cub for a couple of weeks. Hoping to get a little accomplished today before football. Sizing here is ok, I think I will let it ride as is. It's basic but so are my scale efforts.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    I’ve got more kits that I will ever build. I like classic pattern a lot and have multiple kits with the wing cores already cut. My aeronautical engineer uncle always designed his own planes so I did some foam cutting with him but never got around to cutting anything for myself.
