I have an idea for those that make and sell small scale wooden replicas of other's aircrafts....
From what I've seen, a customer sends pictures of their airplane all painted and a model is created that looks identical and looks great. It sits on their desk at work and others admire it and you can say i built a full scale version, and everyone is impressed.
How about a model for those of us still building? We could order a bag of RV-7 parts that have been painted to look like bare metal or primer. then attach the parts that you've completed to a wire frame. Place this on your desk. When someone asks "what the **** is that", you say "it's a model of the airplane I've built, so far". For me it would only be the tail and 1 wing. Later I would add another wing, ect... Eventually I'll be able to hold it and spin around in my chair making airplane noises.
Whacha think?
