Looking absolutely stunning Rick, the colours you used are brilliant and you did a superb job with the rigging and the decals.

Des.

Thanks for your generous comments Des! Greatly appreciated.

Just superb, Rick! It goes to show that some things are really worth the wait!
The Salmson is an absolute jewel!  Not far to go now, and I am looking forward
to the final unveiling.  Well done, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thanks Ernie. I started the dual build a year ago in August  :-[  A little longer wait than I had hoped! Providing I have no more mishaps should be done in a week or two.

My apologies Rick for not commenting before - I have dropped by periodically - but this model is really looking the biz. Never mind the time taken - quality not quantity is what counts, and in this case the quality is first and foremost. This is going to be a super model when complete - like the others I am waiting in anticipation.

This will probably be the last posting of photos of the Salmson prior to the completed models section. Just a few things to do now. Control Horn rigging, weathering and final touch up. Almost there now !

PS: I need to fix 2 pesky rudder control wires that popped loose.

RAGIII,
I like the plane and I love your build! Will you write some summarizing thoughts about what building the Salmson was like in the completed models section? I'd be interested!
