Well, you've got a nice example, But the tail problem is worth looking at, I brace mine as per full size, Loved flying them, but I sold them on as I found better examples, This machine, full size, had more bracing wires than any biplane, My last one got mid aired, so, havnt found one yet, still looking
i have 2 sides
no you dont,
yes i do,

Bob, Balsa USA do a nice kit, but also do plans and instruction manuals. 29US$ if memory serves. :)
Do it now, you may never get another chance

I think you're right Geoff and I am in negotiations on one as we post, hoping to get it. I found someone who has a kit in his loft but it's on his to do list.

If you get the kit, do you have the facility to create a workable plan?

I think the old os48 is also the same size as the 40 but not 100% sure
