It's from the original MAN plans drawn by Wennerstrom. From a Classic Air Models kit, now defunct company from Florida. It was basically a box of wood and photocopied plans. A labor of love!
As I was building it, I hit a snag. I called GMA in SA and we talked for close to an hour. He was a little bitter about the outcome of that agreement to kit his plane; he got screwed! He did encourage me to do a good job though! He passed away about the time I was finishing the model, and I had really ill thoughts about even finishing it, almost guilt. Its a very special plane.
Fox .35, original tank made from plans, silkspan and AeroGloss dope. Had the graphics on the wing cut. The creme coloring stripes were intentional(they were white); I shot thinned Minwax Polyurethane over the entire plane to give it the yellowed aged look.
No Harleyman, tail feathers are original from the plans.
Bill, it hasn't flown yet. As stated in earlier threads, its a closet queen. I do intend to fly it one day after I get the rust knocked loose with other less worthy ships!
Thanks for all of your kind comments!
