Hi all,
An update on this Scout build.
I've not done any modelling for around 5 weeks.
I was away in Cyprus for two weeks, then fighting off and chest infection for another two weeks.
Finally I found the upper wing had somehow been 'attacked' by my daughters dog and is way beyond repair!!!
So I'll remake the upper wing once a replacement kit arrives.

Excellent job on your internal framing/rigging shadows and cockpit.
Cheers,

Hi all
After the dog destroyed the original upper wing, I've now finished the replacement wing
I've added the intermediate wing spar on both upper and lower wings, which I missed before
Now sorting out the cabane and interplane struts before pre-rigging starts

That's looking fantastic Mike, especially after you had to redo that hard work the dog destroyed! The fabric effect is superb, it really does look like the real plane.

Another amazing Scout from you, Mike. The shadow ribs and spars are extremely realistic. Great stuff.

It looks fantastic. I'm so sorry that you had to do the wing again, but the result is totally worth it!  :)

Hi all,
The model has been pre-rigged and the upper wing fitted
Now it's onto final rigging
