Thanks, Gaz!  With the top wing in place, I can really see how big this thing is.  I'm used to 1/48 scale, so this is the largest model I've built to date.  Requires special handling.  A 1/48 scale Vickers Vimy is smaller!
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks, Bob!  The short runs in the center section are driving me nuts, but it's a lot roomier than 1/48!

Looks great Bud! I've built one of these and you are right they are big, I've noticed people I show it to really like to view the rigging.

Beautiful updates, the preshading gave a very realistic look at the painted surfaces. And a gorgeous livery.

Thank you, Mark, Giusppe and Guy!  I'm more than half way finished with the rigging, but my work schedule has slowed progress.  I'll post photos once the rigging's done.

Thanks, Amigo!  Not sure yet if I'm even going.  Better make up my mind soon, I reckon.

Well, she's done.  Six months later.  But, in my defense, in that time I also completed the Lanchester armored car, the S.V.A.9 and the Dornier D.I.  For me, 4 models in 6 months ain't bad. 



More pics in the completed model section soon.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks again, Amigo!  You must be exhausted from all that copying and pasting!  I know I am! ;-)
