de Havilland Beaver Float Plane

This being my first project here coincides with it also being my first model plane.
There are some quite tricky things I had to figure out. One was how to router out all the kerfs on rounded multi curved surfaces as well as flat surfaces. In particular the tail fin and elevators have no square or parallel surfaces to work with.
Most of the wood is New Zealand Kauri with some dark Walnut and a purple heart propellor.
I think I spent more time trying to figure out how to make jigs etc, than I did on the actual construction.
I also learnt a new trick on how to make oval shaped timber for spars etc,.
I suppose I should acknowledge that this is a Toys & Joys plan with no helpful hints, hardly any measurements  and zero radii or angle sizes.
You actually need to copy the plans so you can cut them up for templates, then you will find their scale on the plans does not accurately match the measurements supplied.
Even with all these comments it is a great model when finished.   
Plane was finished with a coating of Tung Oil.
