Des,
You are a modeling machine! Man that is great work! The funny thing is seeing your beautifully done model makes this bird look not so ungainly as I first thought!

Even without the rigging this model is truly impressive: with it it will be a real winner. I agree with Rick that your speed of making models is truly amazing - and what is more you maintain a high degree of accuracy when you do so.

 Des,
As you know I've admired your many Outstanding projects for years now and I must say this SM.1 project is your most impressive kit based project to date. Well Done my old friend! I know that I'll be even more impressed once she's completed too. As always looking forward to seeing more.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Thank you Gregory for your very kind comments, I always much appreciate hearing from you.

The top wing has now been fitted and most of the rigging completed. I used Modelkasten 0.13mm elastic rigging thread and CA to hold it together. I still need to fit two more struts from the rear of the wing to the fuselage, but my kit is missing more struts which are supposed to go from the front of the wing to the fuselage, I replaced these with rigging wire. With the use of the jig the top wing fitted reasonable well with no major issues.

It's rather brave (as in "asking for trouble") to add the front MG before attaching the top wing. I would never dare to do so - but you succeeded. Well done.

You have done a masterful job of mounting the upper wing and the rigging is brilliant as always! Your build has certainly made me aware of a little known but rather cool looking Aircraft! So if WNW ever does one...

Des, as always your rigging is perfect and it really brings this beautiful beast to life!  I can't wait to get to work on mine. 
Just out of curiosity, I took a look at the Copper State website and noticed that they only have one of these left in stock, so if anyone else wants to build one, you'd better jump on it.
Cheers,
Bud

Incredible! Very clean and elegant. Now even this bird is attractive. My highest respect! I especially like how you managed this jungle of struts.

Thank you Stefan for your kind comments and yes, it was brave, and stupid, to mount the front machine gun before the top wing, but luckily all went well.

Your comments are always appreciated Rick, I doubt you will ever see one of these aircraft come out of the Wingnuts factory.

Bud, many thanks for your more than welcome words, the numbers shown on the CSM website are incorrect, I think he still has around 150 kits left (Edgar may correct me on this figure)

Thanks Borsos for your comments, the jungle of struts made fitting the top wing a little troublesome but after a bit of time it all fell into place and is very strong.

Wonderful build Des and really good photos which I can use for reference in the future. A master-modeller at work and the results demonstrate it.
