Salutations from the Western Front;

As you might have seen on TGWAF,  this is the work to date on the Albie, I'm progressing slowly and  now working on the wings.





















As usual any comments gratefully received.

Cheers

Pete.

Looking Good Pete.... Nothing wrong with moving along slowly with work and everything else going on I am moving at a tortoise pace!  :o

 Seeing the works in progress here does inspire me to build more and often!

Beautiful work Pete. Love the look of the power plant and the graining on the fuselage plywood plates. All great work internal and external. Multiple thumbs up.

Hi, Pete,

Excellent work: congratulations! One question: are you using "standard" copper wire for the ignition leads, or do you have a "secret weapon?" First rate effect, whaever it is!  :)

No, it's just standard copper wire, it's become a standard practice now with WnW  Daimler engines to put in the ignition wires.
