Hi Patrick.

Great start from you. The cockpit sides are amazing.

I also enjoy the detail on the engine. Very nicely done.

Hello Zabu,

Thank you so much, this means a lot to me. Pity that I'm still not able to produce some real wood resemblance.

Very kind regards

Patrick

Patrick,
Excellent start on your tri plane! Your bracing wires and control cables are looking great! Nice work on the engine!

Thank you very much Des and Rick. Your appreciation is very welcome since my self confidence was a bit low with the failure of the SE5a. All these friendship keeps me going.

Kind regards

Patrick

Beautiful start, Patrick!  The wood effects and wire bracing is first rate and your
engine is superb!  Whatever you think of your SE5, it served you well in perfecting
your talents.  I'll enjoy following your build, my friend. :)

Cheers,
Ernie :)

 Hi Ernie,

Thank you so much. I appreciate your support tremendously. After all I think I will try to recover as far as I can on the SE5a. I purchased a little jig and hope that way I may be able to fix the upper wing. That's for a little later. I still love the SE5a very much.
It's so pleasing that the modellers who are a thousand times better and handier than me take the time for watching everybody's build. Thank you for that!

Kind regards

Patrick

   Beautiful start Patrick. Nicely done detail on the interior so far and the engine is superb. N534 is a great choice for markings/colours.
Cheers,
Lance

Excellent start, Patrick.  The cockpit rigging is superb and that engine is gorgeous. Keep up the great work.
Cheers,
