Hi guys,
apologies for not posting anything since such a long time... works are going slower and many real life things kept me off the bench.
Lately I was able to sit more frequently and here is the current state of the art:
The bird has now the wings and a tail!!!
A detail of the first double wire going from the fuselage to the lower wing
Here you can see the outboard Vickers, I made from scratch the shield protecting the observer / gunner from the shells of the bullet fired by the Vickers, this is shown in many historical pictures, and the windshield.
Tail with its rigging:
Here I haven't yet put the 4 small struts joining the horizontal planes to the fin (top) and to the fuselage (bottom)
The tail skid is scratch built
A look to the belly of this big bird (new decals since last picture):
New decals on the top wing too:
Here is the twin Lewis on its mount:
Here it is provisionally laid on its place
I am about to complete the tail and the three double wires missing on top of the lower wing, then go ahead with the wing struts, I will hopefully post more sooner than this last update.
Antonio
