I couldn't resist that elegantly ungainly mounting. Besides which, without the gun, it's just another airplane, not a fighter!

It's 1/48, about the same size as an Eduard Eindekker.

I took advantage of our beautiful Left Coast weather to get some naturally sunlit shots. I like what the shadows of the rigging are doing
