Great balsa wood no problem releasing parts from the sheets. It looked good when I finished it. Decals went on well and looked like they were painted. I found taking my time and not rushing was the best way to build these models. I have built two other biplanes and the Foker triplane in the 200 series. I used colored and white tissue for the surfaces and painted other details. I use them for display only. I enjoyed building these planes and wish thier were more in the 200 series.
