Wonderful! I love the Golden Age racers.

I'm struck by the design similarities to the I-15 and PZL series of Russian and Polish fighters.

Got the fuselage and wings together.  Got it puttied and primed.  It was not the putty queen I thought it would be but those wing joints still took a fair account, as did the strut-fuselage fairings.

I also got the engine done, though I won't insert it until later after most of the model is painted.

This a build of the Williams Bros. Hall Bulldog racing plane.  Those of you familiar with WB kits are aware that some of their kits are fine, others not so good.  This kit is one of the later.  But, where else will you get a big inexpensive model of a great looking racer!

The plans are almost worthless, except for giving the names of parts by number.  The kit designers were apparently unfamiliar with Confusius statement about the worth of a picture.  There are a couple of photos, no drawings except a four-view of the exterior.  The cockpit is the most complex assembly, and they do show a picture.  The kit parts are white and the picture is shot against a white background- brilliant!

I was able to get the completed interior to fit inside a fuselage half, with some filing and cutting.  The two fuselage halves look quite symmetrical, so I figure I can get the two halves together okay.
