The instructions say this might break...and it did so I broke the one on the other side as well to insure both sides are equal.

The plans show these stringers going all the way back and there's also a piece for the tailwheel to be installed. I'll wait.

These were added to provide a base for the formers per plan but it's not mentioned in the instructions.

The box is 3/32" construction and the formers are 1/16".

This part is wrong. There's another former on the bottom and the plans clearly show it.

Wing lights are made from clothing sequins with clear tape for the lenses. Works well however the lens is very soft so careful handling is required thereafter. decided to leave the spinner without blades for an "in-flight" look.

I wathered the underside however the kit decals (stickers) have very poor colour. The side roundels I painted on however you can see the bottom markings are the kit supplied and are quite pale.

Hi All. This is my completed rendition of this great Dumas kit. This is the second Dumas kit I have made and I must say they are a real pleasure to build.
