The engine rather turned out to be mess , I kept braking the smaller parts ...I'm stopping while the going is good

That is some very impressive looking weathering Alexis. Shame about the engine, but will it really notice when the model is complete?

What a progress since my last visit here

May be in meantime the mounting process is running and we will see a nice triplane here soon!
Very inviting, this could become one of my models in 2021!

Cheers,
Frank

Thank you gentlemen , very kind

Stephen , no shame really on the engine , was my own three left thumbs and hang nail which caused the multiple errors to occur . With all the detail on the back side , none of it will be visible and with it being at this stage in the game it doesn't matter and I'm very comfortable with it .

Frank , progress did continue but not yet a triplane ...but close !

Running the rigging lines begins with the middle wings fixed in place , inter struts are only glued to the lower wing . The middle will get locked in place when the top wing is in place . This will give me a little more wiggle room for lining things up . Under carriage is just in place for the photo op

Looking quite stunning Alexis! Yes, some great detailing and lovely choice of colours... That engine is really good... Regards, Marc.

Hello Rick and Marc , thank you

In all honesty Rick , really hasn't been difficult other then ensuring the middle wings are in the correct position , everything has been smooth sailing .

Re-insurance on the outcome of the engine Marc is appreciated

We have ourselves a Triplane and the rigging is also completed . Painting the turnbuckles will follow shortly after my eyes have a break .

That is really coming together nicely - I'm very impressed with the subtle weathering touches on the underside. Very brave indeed to carry off a silver scheme - but it's working out beautifully.
Cheers,
