WnW FE-2B Early - Completed
« on: February 07, 2019, 03:57:57 PM »
Well I am thinking I will have a go with this one. It usually takes me about 6 months to complete a WnW kit, dunno how I will go with this monster.

A very nice but also complicated kit. I have done it and had a lot of fun, but rigging was a bit complicated.

That one is still on my workbench and has a break at the moment. I love this kit, but, as Manni said, it has its difficult steps. Have fun with it, it’s one of the coolest looking airplanes of WWI in my opinion.

A lovely subject and really worth building! My humble skills couldn't manage this ... but there is no reason you cannot do a great job of it if you work steadily at it!
All the Best,
Marc

Its really hard to appreciate the size of this kit. Anyway here are the wings which can be seen against the standard size WnW instruction booklet.

......and what better way to start knowing there is going to be lots of rigging. A couple of hours making up some eyelets.

Rigging eyelets are good! You will need a fair amount.... Regards, Marc.

As I thought, this will be slow going. Getting those wings licked into shape.

If going slow means looking this good, then by all means go slow.  I really like what you have done so far.

Ive started on the nacelle now that the wings are nearly finished. Still about another 100 eyelets to CA in place.

I had an issue with some red paint on the rudder that did not dry matt and remained tacky. Managed to google a solution to that with some clear varnish and a few drops of drier. 24 hours later it was resolved. I also managed to spill a small bottle of thinners over one section of the wing just as the finishing touches were being done. That held me up for a while.

Work on the struts has also begun.

Looking great and looks like are flying through it. Six months is an easy target at your rate.  :)

Yes,like Alistair said;I wish I could work to your standard as "slow" as you do.I sure wish I had the self discipline to fabricate the rigging components as a first step.
