quite quick without problems:


now the under zone with the weels and how not ringging
then the front zone with propelers and machine guns and it will be over!!!

An absolutely great build is on the finishing line. Your rigging looks wonderful and I can't wait to see her finished.

thank you all!

well tha down side is done to



ringing and more ringing, but this time it is over!
great emotion putting the last wire!



and yes, the caudron is on its wheels!



last step, the front part, chaudière propeler instead of the Gremont ne, Colt MG in the front and lewis in the backside
and the butterfly decal...

I post this in Xmald topic sorry so here it is in its right place....

Last step...

my engines were damaged I repared them:



Then cowling and decal fixed:



oil evacuations:



propeelrs are painted trying to represent tonkilaque tipical french brown redish varnish
Those props are Chauvière, meanwhile CSM propose Gremont props



they go to their places



time to compare model with original pictures




At last the machine guns. The picture show the plane unarmed because pilotes had their own MG and always take it off..
i imagine a quite characteristic configuraiton with a colt MG and a Lewis one...




Machines guns had no ammo in the pics, they only armed them for war missions





burt I decide to represent them






Lewis is a Gaspatch (very nice)
Colt can't be founf in the market, they have been done join to propelers and decal, by Kajetan Schulz.
he is a polish artisan, works very well and speak english.

last corrections and i will put the final pics...
