Biplanes and rigged aircraft

[zak]

Still struggling with this, the etched brass for the rear gun mounts are very fragile, so some re-thinking will be required here.

I am working on this, but  it is slow going.

Sorry for the lack of posts, I am building a couple of aircraft for A.N. Other.
A DH5 and an Armstrong Whitworth FK8, mid version/ I have built these already for myself and so it seemed pointless posting the builds.

Its fine - we look forward to seeing anything you post - even if its just to take the mickey out of you - hohohho - happy new year Zak

Here is the Polikarpov, undercarriage and decals added, a few small parts to add and also rig.
This has been a real challenge.

Looks excellent though.

Rigging with lycra thread from Infini Model.

Declaring this as finished as it will ever be, some models just fight you all the time.

MOST of mine do

Thanks for the comments,
Now on with the commissioned builds.
Here is the DH5, it is a different scheme and colour to the last one.My matt varnish is not matting, it may need a few more coats.
This is Vallejo matt.

Excellent.

I am now building an Armstrong Whitworth under commission.
It is being painted at present.
