My , My that is pulling together extremely well Richard . The cut outs in the cowl remind me of those old heat vents in my Grandma's house

Looking forward to your next up-date which I hope some colour will be applied ....yes I'm getting a little in patience

That is very impressive indeed. This is turning into a first class scratch build.

You are getting there Richard, and I think those difficult to make convex shaped are done beautifully!

Thank you

Rib tapes:

Which is worse - rib tapes, or whoever at Sopwith fitted 1214 with tapes a lighter colour than the wings?

Richard

Hi Richard ,

I would do the tapes a darker shade then rest of the wing . With the wing rib and doubling up the fabric with the tapes ...this would be darker . $:-\$

Alexis , who is happy to see colour !

So would I - only I have two pictures of 1214 with light coloured tapes so I'm stuck with stripy wings

It seems I have missed a bit Richard. The fuselage construction and painting really turned out well. Superb work! The wings are taking shape and look great even with the "Stripey" tapes. I am looking forward to your next update!

Well, I'm not sure this has worked:

These have though:

I'll tidy them up when they have hardened
