She is about 13 1/4", but by the time I finished sanding and shaping the wing tips, she is at 13 inches, just big enough for peanut scale. I built this little bird when I was a kid and she flew pretty good. Typical Comet plans, leaves a little building up to the imagination, like the landing gear. I remember mine broke off on the first landing and the rest of the flights she was flew were without gear. This time I am making wired landing gear, and moved the motor peg up for easy rubber installation. I will have to take a picture of the bones of all 3 Nieuports next to each other before covering them.
