Building this model was a real treat. The parts fit so nicely and precise I was truly amazed. I carved a scale prop from some balsa in my scrap, then stained and varnished all the exposed wood. After all the detail it is a real piece of eye candy. Extra care was needed when covering the top wing as the scalloped trailing edge was a slight challenge to keep from wrinkling. My fuselage was slightly warped, so I covered the longer side first and let it dry and it straightened right out. Have fun.

The N.11 didn't have a scalloped wing.

My bad. I had to go look to make sure. The problem I had was the tissue contact area kept creeping up the trailing edge and creating a scalloped affect.
