Great to see this, Ma'am.

There is just something about this type that draws interest. I am very glad you persevered with the project. This is reference quality work. My first scratch-build was of an F.E. 8, and even with the Windsock number on the type in hand, I wish I could have had pictures of this model of yours to look at for a guide. The detail is fantastic.

Congratulations are in order!

Lovely to see this Terri, stunningly detailed work. What an absolute maze of rigging too. Must have taken tremendous patience and old fashioned stubbornness to see it through to the end. Great result though so well worth it I reckon.

Sorry for the late reply Richie , thank-you for the kind comments . It took a few days to do the rigging and it really needs to be planned out .
