Mini and #7240 Honest Johns. (Mini also has beveled fins. Those were almost impossible to hold onto to sand.)

Yeah, the 7240 is a good size to work with and fly. It’s one of those that ‘seems’ bigger (once you see the parts) than what it seems just reading the specs.
Your finish job looks good; I guess that is an ‘operational’ round decor, as compared to the kit face card for this kit, which I assume is maybe a test round decor. Well, I got enough of them to do both liveries, crash both, and build ‘em both again!
