It was a nice day today so I took the opportunity of putting the finishing touches to my latest model.

It appears to be a scale model...but, of what? ('Nice to see that people still build stick-and-paper models)

Thanks guys. It's what is called "Fantasy Scale", not a real plane at all. I changed the plans a bit when building it and made it a 2 seater with rear turtle deck and skids. It looks a little like a BE2C. The rigging is all functional - it would fall apart if any of it failed.

I just noticed the flowers in the grass...what's the wing span? From the daisy sizes, I'd say about 36"-40".

It's a tad under 57".

Rigging and cables look masterly, tranquillo - a cute mix of BE2 and Strutter IMHO.
When the rigging is real and essential - could she break up easily on a rough landing?
