Thank you, Dric and Patrick!
We've got our annual local model show on Saturday, so I've decided to focus solely on the WNW kit so I at least have something new to display.  I've pretty much finished her save for rigging and a bit more weathering and touch-up.

Next update will be in the completed model section.
Cheers,
Bud

Hello Bud,

Your tripe and first WnW build looks tremendous my friend. You are almost at the finish now. Compared to what I did with the kit it is magic. Maybe a silly question, was the nose cap only used on the Maud tripe?

Kind regards
Patrick

Wonderful Tripe Bud!

Overall how did you find this going together?  With those strong thick struts you can't go wrong with the wings!

A second from the second Amigo! Just beautiful work on this one! Wish you could have finished its partner as you have it looking like it should be 1/32nd!
