- Built-up and sheeted wood construction.
- Operational, multi-section flaps are incorporated into the distinctive gull wing.
- Recessed gauges on the instrument panel add scale realism to the cockpit.
- Pre-hinged ailerons and flaps reduce assembly time and effort; hidden rudder and elevator linkages enhance the plane’s scale appearance.
- Flat-finish MonoKote® covering and decal set help this ARF stay true to the look of a combat-tested warbird. The fiberglass cowl, tail access panel and belly pan are painted to match.
