Hi all,
As the aircraft had a beaching trolley and of course the kit does not supply one, I scratch built it.
Made from 0.8 mm thick plastic card, Axle is 1.8 mm diameter tube with 0.5 mm rod support brackets.
Wheels are from the ‘Kellerkind’ Tail Skid Trolley (54/077).
Padding bead is 0.5 mm diameter styrene rod from 'PlusModel'.
The three leaf suspension on both sides of the axle are made from three 0.2 mm thick plastic card strips.

Now onto the tail trestle,

Mike

Another beauty approaches completion. It is always a pleasure to watch you modelling.

Hi all,
I'm just waiting for the display case and propeller to complete this build.
As soon as it is done I'll post some photographs.

Thanks to everyone who followed and commented on this build - much appreciated,

Mike

Hi all,
I forgot the figures.
I'm not much of a figure painter, but I add them to my models primarily for scale effect.

Mike

‘Wings Cockpit Figures’ - (Seated pilot LSK 07A) - butchered somewhat to fit into the cockpit.

‘Elan 13’ Miniatures German Naval pilot WW1 (EL19).

‘Elan 13’ RFC Mechanic WW1 (EL41) - removed the RFC forage cap making him bald.

Nicely done figures Mike! I especially like the bald Guy
