Wow those are spectacular.
Thanks for the "how to" info. I feel I have a better chance to build a WW I era plane now, that looks the part.

Well, I would say 3 weeks is long enough between updates. Beside being work busy and bout of diverticulitis side lined me for a spell. But I am back in the saddle again. (to the tune of "Back in the Saddle Again"

Started rigging last night. Actually got the silver bird done after taking these pics but was finally getting sleepy so no pics until later. Just a few paint touch ups, add the gun sight and #1 is done.

This is a test of ones concentration to say the least. First time I've used this rigging material. It's basically clear EZ Line. One difference is that it is flat. It would be helpful if the width didn't change in different parts of the spool.

Leon, T... thanks guys. Really do appreciate the comments.

#1 done and #2 is on the down wind leg. Rigging should go a bit easier with the lessons learned on the 1st go 'round.

So without further adieu... oh wait... this is a Brit aircraft. Righty right! No more mucking about...

I see your point T. But you need to work on getting one done.

Sorry Andy but he is betrothed to another.

Thanks Bill. I just noticed the end date for the SAM thingy is 10/1.. I thought it was the end of the month so If I'm gonna do the Harry Tate I need to shift my asxxx... er.. rear.

Thanks so much elco. I just noticed under your handle that you won in July. I totally forgot about that. Congrats.

Gary, Sam, Marcel... many thanks my friends.

All I have to do for #2 now is figure out how to make some 5 blade arming propellers for the bombs that are about 1/8 " in diameter. An all to noticeable exclusion from the PE fret in a kit, and manufacturer, of this quality.
