I was re reading Flying Fury this morning and came across McCudden mentioning a New Sgt. Pilot arriving at 3 squadron , none other than your Morane pilot Bayetto. He flew at lest one mission with McCudden as his Observer. in a two seat Morane Parasol. So I can now identify even more with your build  8)

Update on the Morane N build...



I've finally been able to spend some 'quality' time at the bench lately.
Parts are ready for assembly and the decals have been applied.
Now I'm a bit worried about how I will get the rigging done.

I'm still spending a lot of time in the different wards at the hospitals. But it's 'brightening' in the horizon.

Cheers: Kent

Not sure how I missed this one, but she looks mighty fine Kent! I tackled this kit last year and the work you are doing on this one is fantastic. I also like the figure painting - this is one area I am awful at, so I am in envy of folks who can paint miniature folks :)

Glad also to year you're on the mend.

Cheers!

Hi Kent,
Great to see you working the Morane and even better knowing you seem to be on the up now health wise.
I've built the Type N and the rigging is less complicated than the Eindeckers.
It'll be a beauty when you're finished,

Thank you PrzemoL, Brad, Mike Alexis & Rick...

Your encouraging comments are very much appreciated...



The assembly went surprisingly well, I''ve reinforced both the main wings as well as the elevator planes with brass rod.



Next up is the rigging  :-\

A beautiful Morane Kent.

Yes, the bracing work is still ahead of me too.
I think that will not be easy.
How will you proceed, first one side, i.e. top or bottom, or the same tension rope on both sides and then - as an example - rope top, rope bottom, rope top, rope bottom etc.?
