Original vs. Reproduction

[ExCee70]

Hi All,

Is there any way to identify an original wing as opposed to a pattern reproduction??

Any hints greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike.

Hi ya ,

Original wings in greenish primer
repro wings in black primer

Are the repro thinner gauge sheet or same?

Thanks.

About the same gauge but quality naturally better in original wing better than a repro goes without saying

Isn't it the same tooling still being used to make the current wings?

I thinks its just the originals were better quality steel. The new ones fit just as well as the originals as far as I can tell
