..and a bit more about the Commander, as I've been neglectfully silent about it. This is of course a 3d printed kit which will allow you to build a 114 (or 112) and 114B, which was the late production Commander Aircraft version with a more discreet cowling. It is a nice size and quite surprising how wide it is - 114 pilots rave about this, but you really appreciate it when you park it next to a desktop sized Cessna 152! My engineering approach was a bit different this time around - wings make the floor/belly of the fuselage, and you insert the interior through the hole. Windows are singular cut out pieces from a vac form. Although this is a bit of a surgical job, it allows full fuselage detail to be preserved including door lines that might otherwise need to be recreated.

I make no apology for slightly off the wall decal choices. This time, it's a big shout out to Norway on the box cover, the land of my ancestors!
