It will actually be about a foot longer with the cowl and tail on.
It has a 104 inch wingspan (biplane), and it is waist high when on its wheels.

I have seen a couple of the 1/3 scale Pups years ago finished & flying with G-62s.
BIG model - they are very cool and simply majestic in the air.
Here I am working on a 30" Sopwith Swallow, lol.
I do need to get back at my 1/4 scale Morane Saulnier A 1 one of these days though. I am pretty big into the WW I stuff myself.
You using Ceconite?
Looks real Nice Lance!

I was at an auction a couple of months ago and they were selling a lot of model airplane stuff. There were at least 50 engines of all sizes book cases and boxes of blue prints, control systems, tools, materials and much more. It must have been a model shop. My friend and I tried to aquire some of it but got out bid by a person that ended up pretty much buying all of it.
I am an old Airforce Airframe Repairman and have worked on and around aircraft and cars and trucks most of my adult life. Spent many years in the precision sheet metal fabrication industry too. That is a real nice airplane you've got going there Foodstick hope it turns out well.

Nice work foodstick, I have plans to build a gyrocopter someday. I have always been into aviation a bit, was actually accepted to a flight college but changed my mind last minute. Course cost 58K 
Can't wait to see that thing finished, you should mount a camera on it to get some cool photography.

Awesome !!! 
There's a guy down the street who has his 2 garage filled with the same size RC airplanes (about 4 of them). His garage is right on the street so it's hard for him to get any work done with the door open, since everyone is so interested in what he's doing. Keep up the good work.

I hope I am not faking it after 40 years of them, lol.
Are you going to dope it or you using paint of some type?
The Morane A1 is an old plan from Flying Models designed by Tom Polopink in the early 90s - if you ever keep track of the "serious scale" circuit you have probably seen the name.
Balsa USA that makes your Pup kit rereleased their 1/3 scale A1 a while ago so there are probably a few out there from that kit by now. Mine will be brushless powered (if I ever get it done) - probably geared or belt driven. 1/4 scale WW1 is about the max you can go electric with out it getting silly expensive it seems.
1/3 scale - check these out!

That should make for a nice finish.
I have to be careful what I use on my smaller stuff because of weight. Dope is often the choice because of that.

that is just a cool as can be. I have always loved WW1 planes.
I would be skeered out of my wits to fly that for fear of damaging it. It would be just like those guys with the $300,000 boss 429s that never leave the garage

Very nice! Are you going to compete with it, like at Scale Masters?
I have a Byron Originals P-40 Kittyhawk that I need to finish. It has the Precision Eagle 4.2, Purr Pow'r system, three blade prop, full cockpit, sliding canopy, retracts, etc and is just about ready for paint. It will not have the shark mouth nose, but will be modeled after a P-40 that was flown by then Lt. Sidney S. Woods in Australia. Here is what his P-40 looked like...

I think I'll go to the "Spousal Avoidance Center" (workshop) for a while...
Good old Byrons ...
You know they started out just abou 90 miles from here. One of my friends was there test pilot , and flying demo guy on the ducted fan jets...He traveled all over the USA.
I have a bunch of friends with Byron WW2 birds..the P-40 is hardly seen around here anymore though..
nice planes to be sure.
