    This is a cool build project, Allan @kalamazoo! 👍 I love the Fury I, many years ago I did the old (ex-Impact) Lindberg Fury I in 1/48. It suffered an accident several years ago that dislodged all the rigging. Here's a pic of her in better days:

    I missed this one somehow, Allan (@kalamazoo). Even though it is a biplane, I have always thought it had an elegant and fast look to it. Have you ever been tempted to build the 1/48 version so that you have more room to manage the flying wires, etc?
