Who's design is that? It reminds me of the Ken Willard Sunday Fighter Bristolspadport I built! I still need to paint the pilot and add his scarf.

That is exactly where Mark at OSMW got his idea it's mentioned in the description: Good catch, thanks, Dave
https://www.oldschoolmodels.com/sfb.htm
PS, does that color have a name, Thanks again, it's getting an FA 40-a

FA 40-a, all up weight.

A beautiful engine, it should work fantastic! Which color in particular did you want the name of?
That is an OS .10 FP sitting in the Bristolspadport. I built my first Bristolspadport when Willard wrote his article for American Aircraft Modeler, bought the plans, and used Ace constant cord foam wings. Article can be found here: https://www.airplanesandrockets.com/...march-1974.htm
P.S. I have a half built Heinschmitt too with a snarling Snoopy for it. He'll get a mustache and point for his helmet. I was tempted to buy OSM's Heinschmitt but the wife will kill me if I bring another kit home.

The "military" green that is close to the color of the OSMW I showed above. Thanks.

Mine is Olive Drab Ultracote. I cover the front nose piece with True Red to imitate some of the British WWI aircraft. The roundlets and tri color rudder are vinyl decals from Callie Graphics. She did the Pink N Poke graphics too.

This is Olive Green by MacGregors, it's maybe a little too dark.

Too dark?

The still make Ultracote! Now that I think about it it maybe the ParkLite version of Ultracote, Weight: 1.07 ounces per square yard (36 grams per square meter). I bought two Olive Drab and Two Red for the Heinschmitt at the same time.

Monokote is my favorite film covering followed by Neucover and least favorite is Ultracote. Neucover is the cheapest but limited in colors.

Them glow Champions are zero gap plugs

Spark plug gaps are pretty important for sure.
