Very nicely done, Jessie.  She's a beauty.  The rigging looks great.  How did you attach the lines?
Cheers,
Bud

It is a nice little birdie. Very cleanly built and painted. Congratulations!
Now, for your next projects, you can try to think of some techniques to bring the surfaces more to life, shading, wash, maybe some fine weathering, etc.

Most of it's off topic for this forum, but one at least does have struts and wires http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234946992-smer-walrus/.

Very good build especially the rigging. Is this in God's Own Scale? (ie 1/72) Whatever the scale I am full of admiration.

No, it's in the proper scale for WWI fighters: 1/48 :P
