SUMMARY

This is the eleventh Wingnut Wings kit that I have

built and for some reason the most difficult (even

though my first was their FE.2b). Regardless of

my struggles with the rigging and cowlings, I

continue to be amazed at their kit engineering,

and the finished model really looks pleasing. I

look forward to my next build of another Wingnut

Wings model as my stash of their kits is fairly

healthy. With my recent retirement from work, I

feel like a kid in a candy store. U
