Home built full scale Me262

Good evening all

I don't know if it really qualifies as a scratch built kit, but it is a model of (or will be hopefully one day) an Me262 full scale. It's in the early stages of planning, measuring and jigging. The internal structure is not super critical as it will be covered and finished as required. I'm hoping to make it the only Me262 in Canada since the 1950's when AM 52 and 80 were here and later scrapped, buried, etc. I had worked on building another full scale replica of an A.V Roe CF-105 Arrow with a number of others, which is usually housed in the Canadian Air and Space Museum in Toronto, but due to issues it is currently stored at an airport in Toronto.
Since I don't have access to the same workshop as I did in the past it will be built in sections starting with the nose section first ( hopefully before the snow comes) then stored until spring. Also, wood as opposed to metal due to lack of materials and equipment.
For the time being I only have this one photo to show but it will get better.

Thanks for looking

Best regards

Vince..
