ClareWentzel Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Our club was supposed to have an April Fool's contest at the April meeting. It was meant to be a fun activity. After checking my stash, I decided to build the old Aeroclub kit of the Flying Flea. It was simple (5 plastic parts, 5 white metal parts) and I figured that I could build it in a month. After checking it out, I decided that it did not look enough like a flea so I made some additions. Here is the result. Note - I would have gone crazy if I had tried to build this to scale. All photos of the real Flying Flea on the net seem to be different plus the top wing is attached at a single point ahd then held in place by wires. Also, I don't know why I did it, seeing how this was just for fun, but I added a PE seat and an instrument panel to the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewahl Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 This is a cute little bug(ger). Did it fly off with an award? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBill50 Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 That's the kind of model that would bug me to build. But I might be itching to give it a go. I hope it wasn't a dog of a kit. Looks good. Great idea, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
