wow, how nice! the color is gorgeous, and must not be an easy one!

...and how many ailerons... should have been really maneuverable on the roll, this little thing!

Thanks for the comments on my Tripe! As for the roll and maneuverability, it was good enough to have the Germans scrambling to produce their own Tri plane

So I have added the upper wing roundel sections that were missing, put some washes and weathering on the wings, and just about finished all of the rigging. I hope to take some photos soon. Just the control wires for the ailerons to do now, then final satin and flat finishes.

Nice Tripe Sir!
You may have inspired me to finally have a crack at the Roden version that's been gathering dust on the shelf.

Rick,
I've known you through your many Outstanding projects for years and I honestly believe this Tripe is your best yet my old friend. Of coarse this would only apply until you out do yourself. Which no doubts you will.
Highest Regards,

Gregory and Bud,
Thanks for your comments and support! I appreciate your opinions greatly! In the end it is a build I have enjoyed. Unusual for me in that I usually build 19,43 or 56 squadron birds for the British side, or should I say that is my overall plan
