And if you think, I'm done now - no. Still adding details the whole Sunday

Since I forgot something, it is more complicate to do it on the finished model, so I should definitely take more notes.

Now it is mostly done, may be next update this evening

Cheers,
Frank

Frank, I may sound like a broken record but detailing really doesn't get any better than this! Simply AWESOME!

These last details match the very high standard of overall build. Did you use micro tube sections to lock the wire joints?

That is maximum level of reproduction.

I wish I could hire you out to rig all my models Frank...

Lovely work on more and more details. Top class modelling!
Still, I have a doubt. I remember when building my F.2B I could not find any photo from the era showing the shutter control mechanism depicted in the TVAL replica. Have you got any confirmation for this, seemingly pure-WNW concept?

Frank, come on, this is boring. Do something funny like attaching the last part with Tesa tape („It’s OK so, I’ll leave that as it is...“)

I am curious to see that one in reality next weekend.

That would be a full time job, but I would not be able to do that rigging the whole day. And beside that sanding wooden props?
Sorry, I have not enough time to build all the nice kits in my stash ...

May be you are right, good point!

One confirmation is the technical point of view. There is no way inside to control it, because of the radiator. So even the thin pipes of the sync gear of the Vickers-MG running around the radiator and run into the fuselage just behind it. So it seems plausible.

And on the Windsock Datafile vol 2 there is on page 15 a picture showing the wires and lever very similar, even if the shutter itself is a different type.
Many pictures showing earlier F.2 wihtout a shutter at all, but if with shutter, I think it needs to be controllable.

And I am curious to see you (and your face with seeing my (newer) models the first time)

The rudder is in place and control wires added too - again a special story! I need to prepare update and pictures ...
So I will not add further parts, but I need to apply some light weathering with oils and pastells.

Cheers,
Frank

Frank,
For what it's worth I came to the same conclusions on my WNW version 5 years ago; and although I can't recall where I finally found the reference photos I believe it was in one of the Albatros Publications. I did the lines crossed as did you and the same "bracket" assembly:

Great work on this beautiful model you've done here!!
Cheers,
Lance
