I think what you have shown us so far looks beautiful, especially because your workspace is smaller than you were used to.

Even though I have a rather large area to work in, 99% of the action happens in a 2 foot square area!

Thank's guys . I will get the space back I had before in the future .

Pins have been added and test fitting underway , looks promising to me so far .

Looking very promising.
As for the tail boom rigging - did not you think about Bobs Buckles eyelets?

Really starting to take shape now. There's such a lot of work in a pusher but you're knocking it out of the park!

Prez ,

Yes , that is what I will end up doing with booms , don't think ez-line type rigging will be the best for this so I will go with mono line for structural strength . So the more I dwell on this , just makes sense to me . Only other pusher I have done is a FE-8 in 48 scale .

Sandy , there is a fare bit work on pusher , different form what I have been accustom to building . Won't be my last one either . Have a few more in the stash for future practicing . Have few more details to work out , but I'm starting on the cab struts now so I can at least get the top wing fitted for more test fitting . I'm getting closer to the painting stage

I agree, a true lattice-tail in the making. Great work Alexis!

Wonderful progress Alexis!
Those pushers are not the easiest ones! I hope the booms can withstand the rigging forces.

The very old Aeroclub one?

Don't recall Areoclub doing the Fe-8 in 48 scale

Hi Alexis,

I think you are doing a great job on this difficult model. I found the build log of your build of the FE-8 on The Aerodrome ( http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46752&page=20 ), but I can't see any pictures. Could this be correct?

Alexis · « **Reply #190 on:** February 19, 2022, 04:23:16 AM »

Thanks Willem , yes that is my build , almost 12 years ago now ! WOW . Sadly no the pic's are gone once they kick us modellers out , might be some still on Aeroscale , but I'm not sure there either . Been a long time since I have been on that site

Hope to have more progress this weekend ....

Alexis

Just found your build log of the FE-8 on Aeroscale. Sadly the pics are gone there too... $:-\$

AeroClub only produced a 1/48 Fe.2b
I wish Eduard or another kit manufacturer would produce an improved version.

Your DH2 is progressing Nicely Alexis! I hope I can finish mine before I am too embarrassed

Alexis · « **Reply #194 on:** February 20, 2022, 06:17:44 AM »

Sorry Willem that the pic's are gone there as well . Don't worry , i do have another kit in the stash and I will be doing another one

Yes Berman , I have that kit in the stash and it would be nice to see other manufactures release one .

Rick , you will finish well before I do .
