After the numerous challenges of the WNW Halberstadt, I decided to build something simple before taking on the Biff for the GB.  Inspired by the recent WNW announcement of their Gnome Pup, I thought I'd go ahead with a project I've had planned for a couple years.

Thanks, Amigo!

As I said, this is a simple kit and the cockpit's already finished.  Just about to close it up inside the fuselage.







Cheers,
Bud
