Beautiful, glad you kept at it (the top wing looks like the top of my head).  ;D

Thanks again everyone. I'm getting ever closer to completion. still lots of little bits to do but it is certainly starting to look like the finish is in sight!

Very very nice work there! I love the Roden BE2 even if my own build was fraught with endless problems including a lower wing whose joints melted away under liquid cement!

Your build is excellent and I just hope Wingnuts will give us this subject in 1/32 scale one day. I have another Roden kit in the stash and am tempted to tackle it now having seen your excellent model.

Beautiful build Mark, it has a very distinctive look with that overall CDL colour.

I love it

Lovely work, well done!

One question to your rigging method - you drill holes through the upper wing, right? How do you remove the holes once rigged? I would like to try this method, that is why I am asking.

Cheers

Hi Ondra, I apply a tiny spot of ca glue to the outside where the rigging emerges from the wing and that really acts as the filler for the hole. When it's dry I use a razorblade to slice the wire flush to the surface. Sometimes a little sanding is needed if I have put too much glue on. (Which happened on the lower wings with this one quite badly!)

Almost done! It would have been completely finished already but I was applying some tamiya clear orange to the prop and it just went all horrible and bobbly so I have had to strip it down and start again. Very happy to have got all the rigging done without any mishaps though!

Looks very much WW1-ish. With that delicately translucent wings, natural materials colours. Great build.

Looks Stunning to say the least! I have enjoyed watching your Mojo come back, especially after the mishap!
