Should be fantastic! Could you post some specs - span, length, expected AUW, Power Plant etc?

@ 800 grams, or 2 lbs, as a low wing war model, this would need upward of 250 Watts by my reckoning. The Cox will give you far less power.

@jana.f22
Looks great  Clap
In the left wing centre section sheeting is that an ink line or a joint?
A joint is not desirable.
Do you have a TD .049 or .051?
On 25% or so nitro, the will be perhaps twice as powerful as a BabeBee.
Ask Sundaram sir.
BTW, what is the source of the plan? How old?
By current standards 7-800gms for a 36" span is quite high.
My 36" depron Spitfire was 330gms, and had out of sight vertical with a 200watt motor producing 660gms thrust on a 9x5 prop.
Best wishes.

@ kk Iyer its a joint sir.
I have TD .049
The plan is from outerzone its rcm plan.

http://www.outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=5130

Yes its quite heavy for this size but My friend made a P51D marutaka plan same 36inch it weights around 900g and it powered by electric still performance is flawless, so ill go with electric most probably.

Best wishes...... you may like to take notice of the advice given by Mr Iyer..... the joint is not desirable at the place he is talking of..... because it is a place where a lot of weight gets centered due to higher wing loading in turns.  You may like to give a reinforcement by using a thin nylon cloth pasted there with Epozy.... some 3 inch wide piece of cloth would be fine.  Nest time do avoid such a joint.
