| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 19-Nov-16 10:53 |  | | Views : 991 | | All nine cylinders done. I think that this going to get complicated before it's over. I had purchased a Williams Bros. 1/12 scale radial, but it just looked to big hanging out there, even though the OL-8 is aprox 1/14 scale. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #238, Spad VII | Parked | 18-Nov-16 14:51 |  | | Views : 4858 | | No Roundel decals because it would cover up my first attempt at 1/16" overlapping of coloured tissue. Prop is a bit oversized but better than undersized. The Pilot is 1/16 from Easybuilt - a tad big too. |
