Fabulous stuff.
How did you construct – is it as original from old drawings or been made “as near as possible” from photos?
Whichever the end result is wonderful and look forward to seeing your future projects.

Roger, I had a DH side view, and a real DH9 wing, and a bunch of good pictures, so it’s a combination of all those. Construction of fuselage is by substituting steel tube for wood, and fibreglass panels for plywood.

They (predictably) end up quite heavy in the tail, although the DH50 may be more balanced as we are using the real Puma engine.
