Butch Witlock did, 7/8th scale, and there is usually one at the Wright-Pat show (I keep forgetting the couple's name).

Here's a pic of it (stolen from the KC Dawn Patrol website):
 If you dig around, I think they have his email address on their site for questions: Redirect to new page and you can follow the link to the builder's group that will tell you if anyone else is building one. |

It is a substantially larger aircraft than the 11 of course... and subsequently harder to build. Requires more materials, a few different techniques (forming the spars for example) more space, bigger engine, etc.
It is a neat airplane... not exactly small either up close.
