Evening all
My Dad was given this last year and didn't even want to attempt it so I said I would have a go for him.
I found aligning the wings very tricky, but this was nothing compared to the rigging - what a nightmare! In all honesty I couldn't cope with the thread provided so I ended up having a re-think and rigging her with fuse wire which I found a little more forgiving. This is the first WW1 model I have ever made and will probably be the last! Also, the decals seemed quite thik and forgiving but some of them just seemed far too big for the model which was a little bizarre. I struggled, even with microsol, the get them to set properly over the ribs but they don't look too bad.
Some quick snaps below, but hopefully you get the idea (she needs some tidying up) - definitely a labour of love but I'm actually quite pleased with her.
