Nice work, Rick...great wood treatment. I've always thought that darn Se-5 seat looks so uncomfortable!

This is fun to watch...Dan

Great job, Rick, there is a lovely build going on in this thread. Thumbs up.

Thanks for posting the pics, S.E.5a is on my wish list too, so I will take inspiration from your progress.

Cheers.

Ondra

Thanks Ondra, I am sure you will build a Masterpiece in your chosen scale!

Hi Rick:

You are a taking on quite the challenge with this kit and doing yeomans work. The pulley access panels really add to the kit, not a job for the faint hearted. I have this kit and would like to do it in McCuddens markings as well, but; for those pulley access panels, I may have started on it.
Looking good Rick and I will be checking in to see how you are coming along.

Best

Lovely work, Rick. For me the SE5a was a thoroughbred amongst aircraft and you are really doing it justice.

Best wishes
Nigel

Thanks Mark. I agree that the pulley inspection panels add a lot to the kit. On my original doomed SE5a Viper pictured earlier I drilled and cut out the area and scratch built my own pulleys. The resin and PE pieces really make this easier

Overall the Roden/Encore kit is really fairly nice. I just ordered the WNW SE and may add it to this build for comparison... after all There is APF Rhys Davids scheme that would go great with McCuddens

Thanks Warren! I was holding off expecting my WNW SE to arrive any day. It seems my order went astray somewhere in the US and returned to New Zealand so I started back just using the WNW directions to add some details. I will post photos in the next day or so. Not a whole lot done due to the delay. I re worked the seat cushion and added a few bits to the interior since the last photos. I am ready to add the control lines for elevators and rudder.

The only photo I have taken shows the left fuselage with the re-do of the seat cushion and some beginnings of control details copied from the WNW instructions and built using sheet styrene.

RAGIII I have two Roden SE 5 in my stash, one I won here

http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=4366.0
So I will be looking here to learn.
I wish you to get your WNW SE 5 very quickly.
