I go away for awhile and already you almost have another build done ! Excellent work so far Rick  :)

Thanks Alexis. Nice to have you back! All of the wires are now tightened. I also added the ailerons and control wires after this photo was taken.

This is amazing.  Looks great and absolutely smashing progress too.  I can barely glue two fingers together over the course of a weekend!

Not a lot further along but some New photos. Ailerons added and another clear coat prior to final decal application.

Looks excellent, Rick. Great to hear you found that lost strut! I loved building the WnW DFW model.
Cheers,
Gary

Looking good Rick!

Commiserations on the SE5 also, old chap. Sorry to hear the poor gubber snitched a parcel sausage end and went goose over stumps frog side.

Cheers,

Wow Rick, this has not taken long at all. Despite that it is looking fantastic. It's good to see you having fun with the hobby after the SE5a. Sorry to be so late to the party, life has been getting in the way for a few weeks.

I dozed off for a moment and now I've opened my eyes again.

And here it is: another great model from the hands of Rick The Master!

I am so glad to see you have your mojo back Rick.
