After a long break, it is back to the Bristol Box kite, this is quite large and fragile and so I have been allowing joints to fully cure before moving on. Ready for a coat of bleached dope.

Cripes! That's amazing Dave. It's exquisite. Is this for the Christmas competition?

Well after a few weeks off and having no modelling room I have decided to try to get back into it,
This is the last of this series:
The AVRO Triplane, 1910, designed by Mr. A.V. Roe. Originally fitted with a 9HP J.A.P engine, later models had the 35HP Green engine.

I think i would have given up trying to rig the Boxkite!! Well done. I like the ribs and frames on the Triplane.
