Looking good.

Top wing now fitted, quite a balancing act and a lot of choice words!

You mean words like 'oh dear', 'it will fit now', 'that shouldn't happen' I presume.....?
No moderation required.

Shiny innit.

Look at the link for the museum one, it is really shiny!
Here we are rigged eventually, not quite so shiny now I think?


A flight of Boeing Stearman aircraft of different scales?

A lovely looking model Zak.
How you manage to rig that in record time is beyond me!
Very good modelling skills evident.
Have a house point!!
Cheers,

Stearmans on parade, excellent work. I fancied making a Wallace but after seeing your great work I think I'll stick to Luft46!!!!

Very nice models Dave.

Another excellent model Zak - if it is going into the garage - is your garage called the Tardis ?

His garage is bigger than our cottage!!!!

I am selling some of my built models to make space.

Now I am onto the 1:32 Special Hobby Morane-Saulnier Type N.
This includes resin and etched brass parts.
This was designed as a racer and sports aircraft and was test flown in May 1914.
The machine gun was not synchronised with the propeller snf two deflector plates were mounted on the prop.
Due to difficult piloting, they were not popular.
Wing warping was the method used.

Resin and etched brass engine painted and in place, machine gun , undercarriage and struts added.
