I won't post again, until it's finished! :)

ToDo:

Control cables
Joystick
Rudder Pedals
MidWing Mount
Landing Struts
Inter-Plane wing (between wheels)
[wheels are actually already finished but not shown]
Shock for tail strut
Spandaus and ammo belts
Engine mounting
Wing skids
Seat
Fuel Tank
Cockpit coaming
Engine
Prop (the hardest part)
Covering

Although it sounds like a lot of work I think it will go quickly now.

Did you figure out how to stretch the fabric over the wings?

Yeah, I figured out three different methods. The method that requires the 
least amount of work (even though it uses more memory) is probably what I'll 
use. Initially this will be a mesh model and then I'll convert it to POV 
primitives. I wanted to finish an entry for povcomp, but since I just got 
hit with a big A.R. job I doubt I'll make the deadline (my reason for using 
AutoCAD). Normally I frown on this approach preferring pure POV instead. 
AutoCAD source is currently 23Megs with a low polygon count, but peaks over 
40Megs when I smooth it. I expect it will peak beyond 100Megs when 
completed.

I can't wait to see it finished Grim.  My airplane projects were my favorite 
(and most labor intensive).  I think you are right on with your mesh size 
estimate.  My long-ez model came in at just under a 100 I believe.
