Finished the Lower Wings.  The features built into these designs are really well thought out.

Looks like a Formosa biplane- a mid-air collision between two Formosa pylon racers.
Love the two-tone elements.

Yes, Guy.

Before I started building it I flipped one fuse side over.
Sounds like you speak from experience.... but so do I!  8)

This is not a kit.  It is a 3D puzzle.  Formers are marked on the plans and the formers have laser numbering (F1- F11) but the numbers do not match the plans.  The laser cutting is so precise they only fit one way.

Frank

ps: I had to line them up that way to join them because the steel ruler had to be on the bottom of each piece.  Otherwise I could not have fit all the pieces on the board in one sitting..

This has only an 1100mm wingspan but there's so much bulk to it.

Looks like a fun kit to build.
Make sure you do not end up with 2 right sides as the picture indicates. :D
