Extraordinary work, Danny!  The weathering is brilliant.  Looks like a well worn RE8.
Cheers,
Bud

Thank's for the nice words Doug.

For this rigging i use elastic flat rigging material. I ordered it at Hannants.

Duvel is an Belgian beer, my favourite.

Today i finnished the rigging of the Harry Tate, and to be honest, i feared of this job, but at the end, all went very well.

Time to add the last details, bomb's and final placement of the two Lewis guns (now they are just dry-fitted) and some detail painting.
After that, i can call this build done.

What can i say about this kit. Well, it's a tricky kit, but again, it's WNW quality and that say's it all.
I was surprised about the wing span of the upper wing, boy it's big, compared to my Roland, the Re.8 was a big plane, but that said, it's a very impressive model, and i hope that one day WNW will put the Harry Tate back on the shelf's.

For now, i don't have the time to shoot lot's of pic's, i will do that when it's finnished, but in the meanwhile, here are 3 teazer photo's of the Harry Tate.
