Thinking Tiger Moth but big. Bob Holman plans (no response from him) are purportedly accurate but not quite big enough. The bigger the 4 cycle engine the better is my preference.

Emailed Mick Reeves (purportedly true 1/3 scale) several times but no response either.

Any ideas or other planes?

Scale sound is mandatory, nothing stupider than a scaled out warbird with a big 2 cycle cylinder hanging out of the cowl. Maybe a Valach or Roto inline twin/3 cylinder.

Prefer civilian or rather not a warbird. Also very few other biplanes appeal to me in any fashion. Can't do a Taylorcraft, etc as that's too close to a Cub

Maybe a Westland Lysander........

Does it have to be plans?

Anything you choose we will follow along with. I have always been a fan of the looks of the Curtis Jenny.

Yes, I know but not in civilian paint. Tiger Moth as well but can be done in civilian. Just not interested in P51/ME109/Spitfire/Etc/etc.

50% scale Mooney Mite.
I have the same problem, thinking about the next build before finishing the current build!

What about a big Chipmunk with an inline twin? I'd think a big Mossie would be neat.

My quad OS 320 would look good in that cowl.

I would rather build than design. Assuming you mean scratch build.
