Beautiful wood work. I still want to try something like that with an aircraft.

Haha Balsa it is.
Actually the whole thing is balsa gringrin
Easy to work with ,but so very fragile, ive broken more than a few bits,but im not sure i have the patience to try and cut all the small parts out of ply using a tool ?1no1

Very nice work Chris. It's been years since I've built a boat like that. It has some very graceful lines to it. Are you planning any interior detail for it?

Hi ,Not really too sure about the interior as ive found it hard to find some pics of what is actually in there ,hehe.
Here is a few pics of progress to date, about 90% complete i think.
