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

Rigging is wonderful.

Nice work! Not only do the wires look nice, but the rest looks neat too, especially that last picture

Here are a few photos of the latest progress. All I lack on the wing rigging are the bracing wires between the Interplane struts. I have added the large #1 on the upper wing and overlayed the blue in the roundel to match the fuselage and undersurface..

Truly excellent, Rick! S.E.5a is the kite of my heart and you are rendering her really beautifully.

Cheers

Wow Rick, she is turning out to be quite a looker.

Wow, Rick, this really became a fantastic Se5a. Very well done. I especially love the double wiring, that's what still makes me headache. Would you explain how you managed to get them that perfect?
Thank you in advance

Wow... so nice! I'm still enamored with your craft paint canvas wrinkling, & will definitely have to try it.

Ondra, Juan, Andreas, and Steve,
Thanks for the constant support!
Andreas,
I use a simpler rigging method than most here.
I just drill holes and run the lines through then secure with super glue. No Turnbuckles. WNW indicates and starts all of the necessary holes/ locations so it is easy to drill and maintain the spacing. I did do one new thing for me. I finally tried using a locking hemostat to hold and weight the wire while I apply a drop of super glue. So much easier than trying to hold the model, pull on the wire to keep it tight, and at the same time applying the glue

The result looks very convincing, indeed, Rick!

One question from me: how do you remove the "evidence" of the holes on the upper side of the wings? This method could be very useful for my scale, that is why I am very excited abouth any advice.

Cheers

Ondra
