She looks great, but don't forget to get your rigging started before you put the top wing on, makes life a lot easier.

Cheers

Been there, made the mistake with a Bristol.
Never again.

  Dave,
What's that a job's program for spider's. Seriously my friend the first rigging looks smart so far. Keep up the excellent work and I'm looking forward to the next installment.
Highest Regards,

Did the rigging that would be difficult when the wing
is placed on top, and . . . . . added another flying
helmet . . . The wing goes on this weekend, and the
swearing begins . . . lol

All the best lads

The wing is on . . . . And some rigging was started, but
the patience ran out. Best to do wee bits at a time.
The dogs breakfast looks intimidating, but a slow
approach is the key. And the patience . . . :-)

Thanks Gregory, I still have the ailerons and the remainder of the rigging
to go, and a few little minor repairs. Models are supposed to be shown,
and even in their raw state, its always good to get feedback. Encouragement
makes for better models.
Also, congaratualtions on this excellent site and forum, and the good people contributing
to it.

Plenty more to come.

Best Regards from New Zealand

Dave

It's like hacking away at a runaway Ivy vine! ;D
Nearly done Dave - it's been an absolute pleasure watching you build this jewel!
