WNW Triplane
« on: July 07, 2013, 01:51:31 AM »
Here are some pictures of my completed Triplane build. An enjoyable kit with only a couple of fit issues, namely the cockpit floor and cockpit coaming. Both were relatively easy to correct. Thanks for all of the encouragement during my build!

It's been a treat following along as she came together Rick. You should be proud of how she turned out. Well done!

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks Chris! I am happy with the results. That being said I wouldn't want to meet yours in a contest!

Very , very nice, Rick. Now I know how my next model should look like! I will especially use yours as a pattern for the chocolate brown PC10 I am going to mix. Thanks for sharing these fine photos.

Excellent build. I especially like the finish on the propellor and your interpretation of PC 10 is very interesting. An all round great success - very convincing as with the correct background it would be impossible to tell that it is a model.

Hello, RAGIII

Another superb job, mate - very much like the look of this one.  Looks as though you used EZ line for the rigging?

Well done RAGIII; clean, a great colour scheme, and nice work throughout. I'm itching to get at mine, and yours is a fine inspiration.
