I've actually got a few Ercoupe models, one that I got off of e-bay, one that my uncle gave me, and one that a friend of my uncle gave me already assembled. All are of the balsa wood type. The original skins that come with the models are tissue paper. But the friend of my uncle used that shrink plastic that people use on R/C airplanes. That type of finish comes out really nice. If all you can find are plans, and no actual models, you might want to look into getting the parts cut for you. In the town I live in (Wichita Falls, TX), there's a shop that would cut all the pieces with a lazer for probably about $10-$20. Seeing as you're in Maryland, and not the boonies of Texas, I'm sure there are lazer cutting shops near you. It could save you a lot of time, unless you want the satisfaction of doing it all yourself. -Jeff N3888H Ercoupe Hangar Flying <[email protected]> wrote: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [COUPERS-FLYIN] Re: Digest list: Ercoupe Hangar Flying Does anyone know where to find a model kit for a ercoupe.
