Well I started this kit at about the same time I started a small size Sneeker combat plane. This is the Blackhawk Modes Perky Speed kit. It has been a fun build and carving experience. Yes some of the wood seemed hard, but that is where wood rasps come into play as well as sand paper. It will have a Fox .15 Schnuerle for power. Haven't made the tank yet. Still have a lot of detail work to do, so don't pick on the old man too hard as I haven't built anything this small in a while. Did I say this was a fun kit? If you like to carve get one.

Doc,
Looks good. One of these days I'm going to have to break out my Perky kit and build it too. I plan to use an Oliver Tiger 15 mk 3. I have a really nice original and a CS replica. I will most likely use the CS most of the time but would like to through in the original some time for comparison. The Perky sure makes up into a cute model. Bring it with you to the Nats and fly perky there.

That looks real nice Doc,,, I wish I could build smaller planes but I seem to always have too many fingers for the close work. Very best !!
