Thank you Pustota.

From my perspective you can never have too many photos of an Etrich Taube, even if it is not quite the version I'm struggling to model.

I have one question. Is the undercarriage frame on the exhibit largely wood or metal tubing?  I'd rather assumed it was largely wood on the E. Taube model I'm making - based mainly on a couple of completed models i've seen - and have already been at work with the early scratchbuilding.

Best wishes

Thanks for sharing! he last photo looks as though Bob could retire with the number of turnbuckles needed to rig this aircraft

To Nigel:
The undercarriage frame on the exhibit is metal, but in original plane i think it was wooden.

Thanks pustota. I did wonder if that was the case.

Best wishes

Great detail Pustota, Thanks for sharing these photos. (and I complain about the amount of rigging on the "Fee"! )
Cheers,
Lance
