What replica would you build?
This is the fuselage of Fokker D8 under construction by a local gent.
The engine is to the left. He has built a fair bit of some of the other components, mostly from scratch. He has the full plans for it and the tail section is well along. The wheel hubs he turned on a lathe and the spokes he got from some source in California. He is a pretty talented individual. This photo is a year or so old so I am not sure where he is now with the project.
The photo may look a bit odd as I removed him from the image just to respect his privacy. Pretty impressive though.
