   Many thanks Gents, your positive comments are very much appreciated! As for staying in Steve, that's inevitable however tomorrow is going to have to be a shopping and haircut day. The Barber shops are finally open and I hope to get paid for what ends up on the floor after over 3 months  of more or less isolation! The mutt is also running low on food and I'm not willing to share my dried soup with him, ain't this Pandemic a hoot!
   Take care everyone, apparently we've still a way to go on this little journey ..........
Cheers,
Lance

A very decent Dreidecker it is, Lance. And not the MvR' one which bores me to death. And the streaking decals do a lot of good to it. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry that I am lte to the party Lance, but I have been a bit "out of it" lately.

This sis a suprb model in every way and I do not in any way share your misgivings about the quality of the outcome. The propellor is very realistic, and as it is carved from wood it is automatically superior to a plastic one. The overall finish and details really turn this into a winner.

Stephen.

Thanks Prze, I hope I haven't disappointed by starting Manfred's all red "Devil"!
Thank you as well Stephen, sorry to hear you are out of sorts and I hope you are back to top notch shape real soon.
Cheers,
Lance

Late to the party, but nicely done and a good use of the decals !

Thanks Ed. Truth to be known I discovered yesterday that I forgot to install the $#$@*&& aileron cables from the deck to the upper wing. Those will be done tomorrow with an update to follow. I'm just full of brilliant moves of late ..........   
Cheers,
Lance

      The forgotten aileron control cables are now installed; 0.33mm Nickel/Silver rod from Albion Alloys. Installation after completion of construction was an absolutely wholesome and enjoyable experience ........ NOT! Lesson learned ......





Cheers,

Very nice Lance. Great end to a beautiful Trip-plane build.

That looks better  Don't you just hate realizing something like that after you've "stuck a fork in it" - a very familiar situation I find myself in too.

Thanks Kevin and Gary. Maybe I'm closer to the "Snap Tite" and pre painted assembled die cast stage of my model building journey then I thought ........... 
Cheers,
Lance

Nooooo , Lance don't turn to the dark side of modelling !!!!

Looks mighty fine Lance.  Don't ya just hate it when that happens?  It looks complete now and you know what to do on the current triplane build.  Don't leave off those pesky aileron control lines.

Mark, Alexis,
   Thanks for your comments and not to worry Alexis, I just like to whine........ being old does that to you!
Cheers,
Lance
