Lovely Bud  ;)

Watch out though - I notice you've got an intruder on the workbench?

Wonderful work as ever Bud. You certainly seem to be able to build these quicker than I can make a model.

Super work, Bud! But what else might I expect from your skilled hands?

Thank you, guys!

He's actually guarding it, Guy, although he's lying down on the job.

I'll probably do the FK8 early or the Caudron next.  Or maybe a Camel or an Ansaldo.  Too early to say at the moment, Nigel. Sorry.

Got some color on her, such as it is.




PC10 wrap around.


Thanks for following along, my friends.
Cheers,
Bud

Hey, Edgar!  What's up?!  Sorry progress has been so slow, but things have been pretty busy around here lately.
Thanks for your kind remarks, my friends.  Here's where she stands at the moment.  The top wing is just resting in place to make it look like a biplane.  Gotta add all the little pe rigging attach points before gluing the wing.


Earlier, I took some pics of the top wing just sitting on the center section struts to show how good the fit is.




I love this kit!  Looking forward to the Early version.
Cheers,
Bud

You really do possess some exceptional modelling skills, Bud!

I especially like the matt/semi gloss effect on the wings and wing ribs.

Well done, sir!
