WNW FE.2b A852 100sqn
« on: May 30, 2012, 08:28:00 AM »
Hi all after all the fun I had putting the WNW Gotha together and doing well with it at the Illawara show I'm well and truly bitten by this whole WW1 modeling thing.
 I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into my next WingNuts build. This being my 3rd first war build I've managed complete the build and still retain whats left of my thining scalp. Every time a build one of these Wing nut kits I'm striving to make that next one that bit better. The Gotha had alot to improve on.
To date I've managed to complete the bulk of the cockpit assembly with the exception of the rigging for the control colomn and footpedal cables as well as finishing the airframe rigging.
Love to hear your comments good and bad please.

The popularity of this kit is really interesting considering that pushers are among the most difficult of WWI models.  You're off to a brilliant start on yours, Sean.  I'm  really looking forward to watching your progress.
Cheers,
Bud

I really like the look of it so far, I'm at about the same stage in my build too.

Does anyone know if it is just the Late that gets that seat cushion, because it doesn't seem like the early version gets one.
