Steve, thank you for your kind comment. Here's some more in (slow) progress shots of the Canuck. I'm starting to formulate more construction solutions. 'Still messing with my wing castings.

Thank you, Bud

Ron, thank you for your offer. The problem was adhesion. Now if I thoroughly clean the brass wire of oxidation and finger oils, I'm having better success.

Hello Everyone. Please let me thank you all for your kind and generous comments. Here are some shots of my progress(?) on the Canuck so far. These are casting made from the WNW Re8 wings which I then cut up and modified (the castings not the RE8). Note that the Canuck didn't utilize the cut-outs on the upper or lower wings. I will next spray them with Tamiya Racing White which provides a nice glossy light beige for the Aviattic fabric treatment. The strut grove, as Barbara calls them, are resin casting with a wire center. The cockpit "cover" is .005" aluminum with UMM USA lead wire and Micro Mark rivet decals. Thanks, again for looking.
Pietro
