controle wires are fishing line with brass collars, the rest are EZ line which work just fine. I did not paint them as did'n know how they would hold out in time

I had no source for other than the original decals, so it is the wrong serial number but it still looks good enough to me

landing frame was made with brass strip and some evergreen strips. thankfully there are some extra decals on the sheet so I could stencil the extra legs as well

Very good finish with the oil stains under the fuselage and an interesting variation on the undercarriage. Nice to see something a little different in this scale. The base is very convincing too. Great build all round.

Nicely done, and different. Particularly like the highlighting / shading that brings out the fuselage framing and the gear and rigging are excellent.  Lovely Build!
Cheers,

Looks very good, mate -

I'm interested to know what sort of undercarriage this is and what it for?

Regards

Absolutely brilliant conversion.  Love the skids and your paint work and display base are superb.  Now I want to build another Pup.
Cheers,

What a great looking pup!  The skis are quite
an idea...very well done, by the way.  I really
like the weathering.  Thanks for sharing your work.

Best Regards,
Ernie :)
