Great choice! This was the first WNW kit I bought, but it's still sitting in the box waiting for me. I'll be watching your thread closely.

Thanks,
George

Jean Luc,
   Yes, a great choice. I built this one over a year ago, it is still, IMHO, the best WNW Kit to date! Enjoy as I will following your progress.
Cheers,
Lance

Hello Jean Luc.

I've got a Brisfit on my "to do" list and very much look forward to seeing what your skilled hands make of it.

Best wishes

You have chosen the best Wingnut kit they have ever produced, I built this one when it was first released and in my opinion is the ultimate, highly detailed, easy to assemble kit they have made, the engine is a model in its own right. I will be looking forward to seeing you make a start on this kit.

thank you to you

here is the very beginning of this assembly

I have started unremarkably cockpit

flank remaining raw canvas I have painted the flank creme

then I have cut out the decals canvas effect in aviattic

the effect is more than friendly I find



I have then assembles the fuselage

the element of cocpit come from below the graft with the floor





an idea with the structural element



feathers are also assembled




good evening to all
