Indeed it does Des. All of the main wing rigging is done. Just need to trim and sand and then I'll start on the tail. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel....I think ;)

Your rigging has turned out beautifully! Very innovative idea for attaching the rigging to the undercarriage.

 Toby,
Now that's some beautiful rigging my old friend. She's well on her way to becoming a Silk Purse!

All decals now on.



Tail rigged. Not much more to do and now that Xmas and the NY is out the way I can crack on rather than crack open :)

More or less done. I'll do a little bit of tidying up and then I'll make up a little diorama and post some more pictures on the completed thread. Btw are there any WW1 airfield accessories in 1/48th scale available? I'm sort of pleased with it but I've learnt a lot from this build.

 Toby,
Now that's a real beauty my old friend. You know at some point in the future I'd love to see you build another SE-5a from the same kit. I've a feeling the more you build and learn the the better the finished project will be. Looking forward to whatever the next project may be.
Highest Regards,
