ou guys are fantastic , thanks for the positive comments  8)

Carl , there was also the Pfalz D.IIIa triplane but never went into production same with SSW Dr.1 , that was a pusher/puller . I have spin models take on that bird and it is strange . AH had a few ones as well ...more I dig the more bizzare they are .

Frank , once the cowl id really thinned down ( very ruff casting ) there is plenty of room for Eduards engine , which now looks under scale to me , but the kit engine still doesn't fit without going super thin and in resin that isn't a good thing .

Digging through the parts bin I found a pair of struts which will do the trick . I don't have the right diameter of steel rod for making the struts . Did realize how long I'm actual on my tubing and rod . Going to have to replenish this . The axles will be cut off and replaced with brass rod . and by the look of it I just might scratch the alex wing as well . There is a fair bit of reshaping to do on the resin part .

Some very good improvements going on here Terri.

Some of the experimental machines built by all nations during this early period of aviation were very interesting indeed, not to write bizarre in some cases. They make excellent modelling subjects though.

The cowling looks spiffy and the engine has plenty of room. What could be better!

Stephen ,
 Yes those experimental types were very interesting indeed and some even have a steampunk feel to them such as AH aircraft and some of their far out designs .

Thanks Rick , yup plenty of room to mount it off center ! ;)

It was kinda of a relaxing day at work so i figured I would carry that home and continuing on doing the same . I start the mods on the struts and will leave these taped down overnight so they cure as is . A new spreader is under construction . After thinking about what to do about the guns I really didn't want to be working with PE and sure don't want to rob a set out of another kit so I order a set of GasPatch's guns from Ultracast .

Exquisite work so far, Terri!  Brilliant choice going with the Gaspatch guns as they are such a prominent feature on this aircraft.  That's what I did with mine.
Cheers,
Bud

Terri,
     I've been trying to think of a was to work with ultra slim cabanes on Roden kits.  I think you've just given me a great big hint.

Thank-you guys  :)

Still a bit more work to do on them and that is mostly sanding and reshaping with a few tea breaks in between .

Bud I figured that they would be the best choice which have the best detail blending perfectly with the detail of the engine and interior .
 
Whatever the hint was Gary , hope that it works well for you  :)

I sure hope so Rick , broken one while shaping it , repaired that only to have it break again . So this time around the repair should hold up better while the shaping takes place . I'm pleased on the direction they are going .

Excellent progress Terri - you seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment. Production of models is really moving apace!

Thank you Ken and Stephen for the support ! Once I get the struts done and rest of the PE in place can start spraying some primer moving to the paint which I hope I can start this weekend .

Great work, Terri! I hope to see you move on to primer and paint soon. That should really bring some life to the model.
