Oh, I almost forgot

I ran across this pattern  on Steve Good's site and found it was a really quick and  easy one to cut. since I only wanted to spend about an hour in my shop today, I grabbed the opportunity to make it. I wasn't very happy with the stars on the tail and wings as they stood out as  being Russian and since I am upset by what Russia is currently up to in The Ukraine right now. But I believe it is Steve Good's use of the star as being American instead and I am using his pattern, I left it as is. When I got it cut and ready to assemble I decided it  was a little too plain and decided to round out the leading edge of the wings and the fuselage also the rockets. I thought it made it look quite a bit  better and I am planning of giving to to my 5 year old Great Grandson. I made it from a piece of Poplar wood, 1/4 inch

Thank you. I would be surprised if he doesn't like it as he seems to be happy with everything else I made for him so far.

Boys love planes. Very well done Dick.

I agree rounding the edges makes it much more pleasing to the eye. Nicely done!

Looks great Dick.  Terry's got it on his to do list.

Good one, Dick. The second picture the background of the picture makes it look like it is flying low over water!

Good looking plane, Dick. The round overs are a definite improvement.

I love that! But I love that it's a Great Grandson present even more. Awesome!

Thank you. Some times doing a little extra does help the end results more appealing for sure

It is a really quick one to cut as it only has 2 main body cuts. 2 small wheels to cut and 2 rockets.  All are really quick and easy cuts. I spent more time rounding the edges and sanding the plane then I did cutting it. Really easy and fun project

I took that photo on my outdoor patio table. It does give it a little different perspective but it was not intended to do that as I was just looking for  better lighting for the photo

Thanks I thought rounding the edges would help it to be a little better looking project and I am glad I did it too

It really isn't a very special project and not something I am really interested in but I was just looking for a quick and easy piece to cut to take up an hour of my time.  I showed it to my Grand Daughter yesterday and told her I was going to give it to her son and she said, he probably wouldn't get it because she would take it instead. Funny mom

I can understand that. It’ll last longer that way and she can pass it down to him.

You are probably correct but it really is a nothing sort of project.
