This Kit has been a "on" and "off" project since 2014 and it sat in a box for at-least 20 years before I started it,well it finally done and it came pretty good for my skill set.  Specs 65" wingspan early Pica FW-190 Dora, I finished it as a loosely looking TA-152-C3  Aircraft is fibber glassed .73oz 106 volan  with water-based polyurethane,added Dift wood sealant  on balsa so it didn't warp.   Rivets by Chad  Veich , cockpit is a hodge-podge of a 1/6 scale  IMP cockpit and parts I made. Power plant is a Evolution 20cc Engine. Landing gears are electric MFG. by Lando; struts and wheels are spare parts from Hangar 9 BF-109,perform a tail wheel mod for a more scale look. Installed flaps, they are  home made from 1/64 birch plywood and fiberglass cloth, same goes for the main gear doors. I'm at work now so i can only post a few photos,will post more later.  Cheers!!
