Thank you Jak and Michael for your very kind comments.

The bottom wing is now fitted as is the seat assembly. I have fitted the engine and radiator to the engine bearers, the engine assemble has been trial fitted onto the bottom wing at this stage as more frames have to be made.

Gad, Des. I am absolutely dumbfounded by your talents.
It seems every one you create is better than the last gem.
Did you use a ponce wheel to do the screw holes in the float?
Magical stuff, my friend. :D


Cheers,
Ernie :)

If it were someone like me building this, I would be astonished, but this is just the sort of wizardry I've come to expect from you, mate.  I could stare at this for hours.
Cheers,
Bud
