I could have strangled the bastidge ;^) But the keel wasn't damaged nor
the new ribs so the boat could be saved....

Still,, I wouldn't mind a nice P-38....or a Mossie....

With all those mad woodworking skills, (and tools), why not a (whatever
scale) Mosquito?

That was a pretty cool plane, too.

Great work. It positively makes me look like a wood butcher. g

I saw pictures of a Mossie being fabricated new down in Australia.
The builders had even cast concrete forms to lay in the balsa and
plywood sandwich for the fuselage. Brrrr, what a phenominal project.
