The SE5a is now a Biplane.


Lots to do but next up is rigging.

That's handsome Rick!

Thanks for looking in Bo! The wing roundels will have the Encore version overlaid d as I didn't have the ones with white surrounds. That should make them match the fuselage and underwing colors.

That looks really super Rick,

Did you use a decal for the 56 sq blue dumb-bell symbol on the rear fuselage or was that a mask and spray?

Best wishes,

Dave

Thanks Dave. The Dum-bell marking is a decal from the Encore SE5a McCudden.

The results of last weekends work. The forward double wires are attached and tightened as is all of the cabane center section rigging. The rear double wires in some of the photos are just in place, not yet glued.

 Rick,
Excellent rigging my old friend. She'll be a real show stopper when done.

Completely agree with Gregory Rick: this will certainly be another winner when it is complete.
