Scratch builds / Re: 1/32 partial stripdown Short Wright Flyer

Great to see this one on the move again, Steve.

Looking great!   If it was me, I would be inclined to complete the main wing rigging first.   Dangly threads can easily get caught up in your hand whilst handling resulting in horrible drop accidents - as I can attest to personally!

Regards

Dave

The Nostalgia Board / Re: Nostalgia Group Build (NGB) proposal.....

Personally, I think the way Dave wrote the intro, he specifically was opening up to much more then just WW1.

".... focus on WW1 but covering everything else too." His words.

Reading his entire intro, not just what I've quoted, it seems to me he was being more inclusive to all the kits of our yoot.
Monogram made no WW1 in the 70s-80s.

Hi Allan - great idea; given we're mainly a WW1 board then perhaps it could be limited to WW1 kits for a group build? That might limit the pool of kits and participants though.

Interested in any other thoughts.

(Which reminds me, I should start putting my mind to the topic for the next group build...)

Cheers,

BC

Bravo, well done. Very striking with the black nose.
Reminds me of a Collishaw kite.
