Overall, I think that metal struts would have to be used on polystone wings. I wasn't so much worried about the bracing wire material as I was about the expense to apply them. The Wooden KC Biplanes and the Heco models are top grade and a bit out of the affordable ($200 ?) range we are discussing and that the cost of the wiring would have been absorbed within their higher price. The wing weight is a concern as the much thinner biplane wings are going to be delicate. I do not know if combining wooden wings with polystone fuselages is practical construction wise or cost wise. Problems to be solved. -- Al

Or even if a polystone fuselage and wood wings would look good?

I would love to see the great war planes but in waiting i have bought some beautiful corgi 1/48th scale planes that are gorgeous. Especially the albatrosses. Check those out and you could see endless possibilities for kc. But i think we are years away from that

The Albatross that Corgi does is fantastic looking. I would love to get Baumer's. It's color scheme is wonderful. -- Al
