    That's pretty significant progress alright, and some very nice work. I'm enjoying your Build thus far, I may be repeating myself however this is definitely my favorite Kit! Looking forward to more.
Cheers,
Lance

Hello everyone,


  A little more progress. Turnbuckles made and added to the lower wing

Nice build so far ...
I won't to disappoint you, because you put a lot of effort in, but the F.2B don't have turnbuckles but uses "RAF wires" on the wings. This are not cables but streamlined bars with threads on the end sitting in terminals.
Please see WNW website for very nice pictures. I'm not sure about the tail rigging, because I just started my Fighter build (in 1/48).

Cheers,
Frank

Hello Frank,

  Thank you for your input on the wires. This is my first WnW kit and first WW1 aircraft....and won’t be my last! I know there is is lots I can improve on. On the next kit I will look to improve on techniques and my skills for building WW1 aircraft. Input and advise is always welcome, how else can we improve! :)

Juan, I don't want to adorn oneself with borrowed plumes! This is not my build report ;)
I will start my "Bristol Fighter" report soon.

Cheers,
Frank

Hello all!

  Small update. I managed to get the rigging finished and painted Next will come the Matt coat and weathering. Finish up the small details and then onto the engine....





 As I am getting closer to finishing the Bristol, I have been thinking on my next kit. My birthday is coming up in a few weeks and my wife said I can buy another kit......thinking of the Gotha, one of the Felixstowes or one of the AEG’s. What do you folks think is a good second kit?

Your rigging looks outstanding! Great work overall. As for the next one the Gotha is OOP so unless you want to pay a ransom price you are left with the other choices. A nice German AEG would go well with your Bristol.

Thank you gentlemen!

  Well it is going to be a difficult choice as my LHS has both the AEG late and the Felixstowes......hmmm which way to go! LOL
