What you have achieved so far is looking very good. We all, at some stage, experience problems with rigging, it can be a real headache sometimes, but perseverance and patience pays off in the long run, stick with it and take your time.

When I look at your first rigging job and compare it to this one, I see huge strides in what you've accomplished in such a short period of time. As frustrating as it can be at times, you're well on your way to mastering it. Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

Chris

Alright, after  a bit of a break from the model, I'm working on it again, a bit more rigging and more work on the tail section, lots of touchups needed still, they just seem to keep going up.

She's looking great, NC.  Your best yet.  I look forward to seeing more.
Cheers,

I've been looking at my kit with great trepidation so I tip my hat to you for having the intestinal fortitude to build this model so early into your model building career. Kudos to you!

Cheers,

Chris

This looks excellent. You have chosen a bird that is a very complicated subject and you have succeeded in making it look great. Well done!!! You have the ability to stick with a project. That shows patience and perseverence- something that is to be admired!!!

Hey NC, nicely done indeed. I still can't see myself tackling this one and I've been modelling on and off for well over 50 years! Keep at it, you have a beautiful model going here. And BTW, the "touching up and adjustments" never end; in this case you are showing not only constructive self criticism but the resolve to continually get it as good as you can.

Hi NC, looking at your FE, which is looking superb, excellent job, I can't see any future model that you build will present you with any real problems at all, I hope you will stay with WWI biplanes.

Cheers

Pete.

Wowzers, NC!  Everytime I see your subject (...Yet another...) it makes me laugh.  Can't get enough Fe-2s!

Excellent job.  I think that's the scheme I'm going to do with mine so yours is great inspiration.

That's a good scheme you chose, NCSE.  How you FEE builders are able to get the rigging looking good is beyond me.  Keep up the good work, mate.
