So today I got all the Magazines, Magazine holders and the Lewis MKII machine gun and mount finished (Minus the glass). However it wasn't a straight forward day on the work bench as I had a slight accident involving the tail skid snapping off

fortunately it was a clean break and hadn't taken any of the anchors with it, so a length of 4mm brass rod was used to make a joint and everything was put back in to place.

So tomorrow my job list is:

Paint and attach glass to the Lewis Gun
Attach Aileron levers and cables to lower wings
Study in more depth the upper Ailerons that use a bungee return system
Attach bungee type Ailerons levers and any modifications that it may require
Touch up and apply additional decals
Weathering
If time and lighting photo session of finished aircraft

In the meantime here are some images of where I am.

Beautiful work James, the staining/weathering on the fabric side panels on the fuselage is spectacular, you've captured the real look of this iconic machine. I'm eager to see the final photos.
Cheers,
Lance

Thank you everyone, its very encouraging when people take the time to respond.

So today I only got a fraction of what I wanted to do done.

Paint and attach glass to the Lewis Gun - Done!
attach eyelets and turnbuckle to Aileron and then attach to each other with cable - Done!
Went and played in a dad versus kids football (soccer) Tournament! - opps!

So last night I moved one step closer to completing the model, I wasn't at all happy with the aileron return springs molds that come with the kit as they seem a little over-sized to me and I decided on making my own. Like the Eindecker's the rigging really is what makes or breaks these flying washing lines and so I decided to give her a little more detail.

As the kit is supplied with 4 aileron levers for those that decide on variant E in the kit so I used two of those to attach my brass springs to.

Now from here I need to attach these to the wing and it looks like they use something similar to the 'Type B' buckles that then attach to the springs via wire or it could be that the spring wire actually is one piece and attaches directly in to the wing structure. So if any one has any clearer images on this I would be greatly appreciative.

Cheerio

James, my friend, I am at a loss for words. I am completely
in awe of your work on this gorgeous model, and will use it
as a guide when I get up enough nerve to attempt mine.

Cheers,
Ernie
