I am calling this one complete enough to post. 
Still have some detail work and weathering to do but finally the light is at the end of the tunnel.
It is a Ziroli Hellcat, 95" wingspan, DLE-85, finished with fiberglass cloth, epoxy resin and Klass Kote paint.
Final weight is not yet known (approx. 40 pounds) as it is going to take quite a lot weight up front to get the CG set.
It has been a great project and looking forward to flying it next season.

Weathering is next on the list. Thanks for the well wishes on the maiden.

Love it. I'm working on one now also and was considering a Brit scheme. You just made up my mind. Do you have any pictures of your control surfaces and hardware? I'm on the fence about how detailed I want to get.

Thanks,
