Thanks Bo for the images, the cockpit is very sparesly furnished though. It is certainly an unusual subject to be used by Rise of Flight, this aircraft was initially intended to be used as a two seat scout but some pilots modified their planes to act as a fighter, after time they were used extensively as an escort fighter for the Muromet Bombers but did at times engage in one on one combat with the enemy. They were an agile little aeroplane but underpowered.

I have made the wings for my Sikorsky, the top wing is nearly complete but still needs a clear coat. I will add Bob's Strippers for the ribs on the bottom wing as I did for the top wing. The dihedral had been set on the top wing and the cut-outs for the aileron cables have been done. First picture shows the wings on the plans I printed from the book I purchases, I scaled the plans using my drawing program.

Really like the wings. Nicely curved and very convincing.

Great modelling, Des. I must have missed this bit, but could you tell which scratch technique do you use to create the wings?

The usual very high standard of modelling in those wings Des. This is going to be a very interesting model when it is finished. Will yours have Russian markings?

Also the wings are looking fantastic, Des
it seems that the Sikorsky is almost complete... Are we going to see a Macchi M 5 started before July?
