Sandra is very good with jigsaws luckily.
They are not my favourite occupation.

Special Hobby Sopwith Tabloid under construction, 1/48 scale.

Coming along nicely....nice jig by the way, never seen one of those before. Tell me about it please.

I bought this at Scalemodelworld at Telford this year, it is laser cut ply and you assemble it yourself. They do different sizes depending on scale and sixe of aircraft. It is quite useful and not too expensive.
Did I get it from Little Cars? I can't remember.

If it works, it's worth it. I think getting the wings looking right is probably the hardest bit.

It probably was little cars, I bought a1/72 scale jig from them at the club model show. Don't know how I managed without one before.

Hi Zak,
Yep a very nice looking thingy as Haddock says.

I like the doped linen effect, it makes it feel so delicate.
Cheers,
