Many thanks for your kind comments Stephen. I'm afraid I've lost the original aim of a detailed Build Log on this one, in fact I finished it today without any updates in the past 10-14 days!
Despite a release date of slightly less then 60 years ago the Kit proved quite good and can be built into a very respectable model. With the exception of a Scratch Built cockpit the model was very much OOB, and I'm mainly pleased with the results.

The rigging was done with fairly thick 10 lb. test mono in lieu of the stainless wire I normally use on these subjects. In retrospect I'll go back to using the wire in future.

All of my "Yellow Wings" subjects are done in Museum like finish, clean with little to no weathering. On this one I added a very small amount of dirt to the Landing gear and tires only.

Now it's time for the usual cleanup of the bench and some thought on what's next; I'm thinking of a Copper State Nieuport at this early juncture.
Cheers,
