Outstanding work John. What source are you using for plans? Do you convert plans, of say 1/32nd scale, to 1/16th scale. Are all of the non-wood parts scratch built, such as the engine, seat, machine guns, etc.

Could we twist your arm and get you to tell us about the process?

Again, your work is an inspiration. I cannot waite to see the Jenny, er Canuck, finished. It seems to me I have seen a Cannuck or two in Canadian Aviation Museums. Maybe the restoration folks, or curator types, would provide you with some details of the differences between the Jenny and the Canucks. Have you tried communicating with any of the Canadian museums?

All you have to do to speak Canadian is end every sentence with eh! A cold Molsons on me for all my Canadian friends. Do I have enough Toonies and Loonies to pay for it? rangerj

Thanks Joe for your kind comments. Rangerj please go to www.largescaleplanes.com click on Articles then click on The Golden Age there you will find a complete build article on the Albatros and another on the Nieuport 28.The upcoming part 2 of my Jenny article should answer most of your questions.Cheers! John.

No Steve I didnt get that email but my computer has been acting up too.Hey I didnt know that you did nose art.Your work is outstanding! Your work reminded me of a Liberator that my dad flew in WW2.He flew as backup liberator pilot for Winston Churchill.I will try to dig out a pic for you of the nose art on his aircraft if you are interested. Cheers! John.
