'My sentiments exactly' Rick - We have to fire up under Roden, to bring out some of the kits we watched disappear in the horizon, not so long ago!

At least to the point were we get the B.e.2c!!!!!

For Me it would be a BE12, or SE5.  8) One more VERY SMALL UPDATE: I decided it would be easier and closer to the drawings to just cut New Elevators from styrene sheet so here is the rough result:

You made a good progress over the last weeks! Both will look nice at the end.

Reminds me of a half finished Eduard Dr.I in red ::) Should restart that project one day ...

I have not spent much time at the bench so just a quick update. Worked on the Roden upper wing using a Pounce wheel and gently bent the Meng Elevator to an articulated position.

I made a little more orogress today: Next up control and bracing wires then final detail painting.
