Great progress so far. The markings are looking great!

Thanks. Ok, I had a feeling the model shown at Hannant's was not the same. I was thinking about buying one, rather than scratch-building jigs for each plane.
I would advise against tbh. Whether it's the fact it's a triplane I'm using it on for the first time but it has been a struggle to align and in the end I gave up and went back to using some Lego >:(

Thanks for your feedback. Moreover, the drawback with those jigs is you can't turn the model upside down while working on fitting the masts. It looks like I will go on with my custom jigs...
