Bleriot I

The project here is to take the Bleriot I model at left and by adding a scale fuselage, landing gear, rudder, and tail skid, make it scale-like in appearance. The wings are far from scale, but I want to keep them for ease of flying. See my Bleriot III, I added "scale" wing warping to it.
