   Great update Pietro, the cockpit detailing is outstanding, this is really looking spectacular. :o
Should Wingnut Wings decide to release one they'll do well to check out your efforts and details here, incredible Scratch Build!
Cheers,
Lance

Excellent progress! Just brilliant work all around. The instrument panels are terrific and really help to bring the cockpit to life!

it occurs to me that the best way to get WNW to produce a Canuck, is to scratch-build one first

Agreed. Could you please speed up a bit, just to hurry the guys at WNW?  8)

hello everyone and Thank You all for your kind words of encouragement! Here's some more in progress (slow) shots of the Canuck. I've made RTV molds of WNW RE-8 wings, which will be beaten into submission until they (the resulting castings) resemble Canuck wing sections. I'm having issues with my brass reinforcing wire in the castings. Will post pictures after success. Thank you for looking. Pietro
