If you want to try to scrathbuild a stabilizer and elevators, that should not be too difficult a job.  I think basswood might be easier than styrene.  Go to the scratchbuilding forum, in the modeling subjects hierarchy and ask for help if you need it.  I am sure you will get enough help.

I have an old T-39 that I'm going to have to find a horizontal tail for or make it.  I'd also like to find a C-140, but lots of luck there.

     That was a refreshing thread .

     Made me think back a lot of years . The reason I liked them was the esoteric civilian planes that were used by the military .I built many as I had a heckuva parts drawer for planes back then .

      One of my favorites was the " something ,something " PEMBROKE " It was a British high winged V.I.P. Transport .i/e Small field connecting airline type beast .Great plane and I had them in all kinds of what if  local airline logos .Great fun that .

       I was glad I had bought every one the shop had  . I got transferred for work and when I got home thirty years later even the shop building was gone !        T.B.
