Thanks, Nigel.

This evening?s work: the propeller is in shape and in its place. Fuel lines added to the gravity tank above the observer cockpit and I also managed to construct the old type radiator, which will be above the engine. It is the small bit in the tweezers with silver base painting. I am well in schedule, I will be away for a week or so soon, but will have time for rigging and final details after I come back. So this will be ready, photographed and added to the completed models by the deadline. Or at least that is my plan. I hope many others will manage to get theirs ready in time too

Cheers, Skyhook

This is a really super scratch build. The early B types are not well represented and it is good to see one being modelled.

I heard that it all started when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich 'cause he was hungry!

Thanks, guys

The work for this evevning is done. Now the radiator and exhaust are in their place. Also some other smaller details. So it is basically touch up painting, finishing and rigging to go. But I think i will take up those late next week.

Thanks for your extended interest

Cheers, Skyhook
