This is an older kit. According to the plans it was drawn up in 1975 or so..
NOT a Guillow's model.

I am converting it (more or less) to a Stearman YPT-9 Cloudboy

There are few of us left that go to the degree of detail you exhibit, keep up the beautiful work and hopefully it inspires some younger folks to carry on!!!

Hi Cliffm - That is the purpose of the youtube channel - to provide some guidance to anyone, young or not so young, who might want to build a balsa display model - or any other kind really...since the approach and fundamentals of
modeling are the same.

I thank you for your words of encouragement too! as you know, a great deal of work and time goes into this so I appreciate the positive feedback.

I don't always post but I have been following your build and the work you do is amazing. I wish more people would take the time to post photos of their builds as they progress. Keep up the good work.
