Well;
This is good if you can do it. What I have done for myself is copy, say the hull, with no name printed on it, or other kit originaldetails, and then made sure of the color etc. then built a totally different ship using what became a generic Hull. All new scractch - built upper works from Paper and .010 sheet plastic.
But, I should've said this too,Darned great looking planes. I don't really have much room for planes but I will build one once in a while for friends. From 1/24 patterns I got from an old friend back east Mostly Pipers(older ones)Cessnas and Aeroncas
