Terrific work! I am just ending the reading of those 4 pages and all is delicious!
I take a seat with a lot of pleasure I have a Eduard triplane too to built!

Very nice pinning, Frank.  How in the heck to you pin such skinny parts without errors?  I was trying to pin the LG of the 1/32 scale Roden Dr. 1 and completely messed them up.

Lovely words from a master! The kit was released 4 times, this is the latest from (2003), and I have another one with skies (1999). At least the PE is different.

Without errors? The wooden board shown on page 2 is in the bin ::) I destroyed it during drilling, of course only at the last hole. That is the advantage of real wood scratched parts - it is easy to be replaced by a new one :D

Your metal and woodwork are truly outstanding Frank. The undercarriage on this model alone will take it into another realm, but with all of the other detaisl you are in a class of your own.

Thank you Rick and Richie!
The WNW kit manual was very helpful here, with the colored pictures!

What do you think Raymond will say to the mechanic when the tank is only half full? ;D

Hey Frank I forgot to ask how you shaped the brass pump handle. Did you use a Dremel or good old fashioned hand files? I'm considering getting a Dremel.

Maybe Raymond is mad at the mechanic for not preparing Black Maria properly forcing him to return to base. :)

Richie, the used brass profile was only 0,6mm thick, so it was easy to file in shape with some small diamond files. For such small parts I don't need a Dremel. The control during manual work is much better.

Cheers,
Frank
