There is a kit of this plane, but probably pretty hard to get.

The Mighty Mo says no.

Tucohoward Yup I imagine the kit could be over $60.00. This model is 2.00 dollars worth of materials as I always mention all the wood I use is repurposed...

What is the purpose of the panel lines on the wing at this stage?  Won't they be destroyed when you carve the airfoil?

This thread is about technique in making a wood model. There are a lot of ways to make sure the model gets it's detail. Each line represents a template. It's a wood model you may cut an airfoil or not. I usually don't. As for the fuselage  lines give me a good idea of how many draws with a motor tool will dial in the shape. A guy could easily put 20 hours into the contours of this model. Hanging these models still look neat. Most viewers see the model but not the edges.
