All this work looks great, Mike.  You're usual attention to detail will certainly pay off in the end by being very visible here.

That's all the wire in the kit ? Not even close enough to build the engine/wing struts  Either way Mike your version turned out fantastic , looking forward on seeing the top wing mounted .

Alexis - just for you,

The upper wing is now fitted.
The ailerons as well as the tail unit have yet to be fitted.
Now onto the rigging !!

Already started taking notes on the rigging...

Looking forward to the end result.

Looks Terrific as a bi plane! This is another fine piece of Modeling on a kit that lacks finesse in some areas...like that engine mount  support frame!

Great job on the rigging Mike!

And, is it me or does the gravety tank look different than in earlier pictures?

Willem

[Mike Norris]

Hi Willem,
It's you  - the tank hasn't changed,

The assembly all coming together really looks great Mike! The rigging on the struts and engine support frame isAwesome!

This could well be my favourite of your builds so far, it's looking like a real show stopper.

Hi all,
The tail unit with elevators and rudder is done.
Bracing and rudder control cables are 0.08 mm diameter mono-filament with blackened 4 mm diameter tube.

Apart from the propeller, that's the aircraft completed.

Now it's onto creating a beaching trolley and the figures,

Mike

[RAGIII]

Superb build Mike!

Wow, what a superb build Mike. Really a masterpiece. When I look at the last pic in this post it seems like the support frame on the left side is out of position. But it could also be I'm totally wrong.

[Mike Norris]

Hi Fvdm,
Yes that cross member is not parallel to the fuselage.
It was, but at some point during construction the frame tilted slightly and I didn't notice it.
Unfortunately, it's too late to rectify it now without wrecking the model
