Not what you might expect, but I built one a long time ago. This resides in my brother Rick's collection. He has many of my Tom Daniel and all of the Dave Deal kits i built. I was going through my archives and found this. So it's official, I am a SPAM aircraft builder after all. Such as it is.
I'm a bit proud of the wooden prop I painted. I kind of winged it and it looks the part.
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...
I LOVE it! Especially the dog house kill marks! Egg planes are cutsie, Tom Daniels stuff has attitude!

That is cool! You did a fantastic job on that propeller! Way to go!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
