Some threads just mentioned the film "Those Magnificent men . . " and I found a trailer on Youtube with the Wright Flyer at the end. So good point to show my last finished stripdown, but not from Eduard as my others. This is the Wright "The Flyer" of the Japanese company Aerobase in 1/72. This biplane was done out of the box, even the base plate was included. Also a thread for rigging was included, but I have used something thinner. The flyer was soldered as usual, but since the parts are thicker, it is much easier to build compared to the Eduard ones. So I can really suggest it as starter into this area. The painting was done with Gunze and oils. The only funny thing was the rigging. According to the manual the task was done, but I found a lot of free rigging points on the model! After a research in internet I found manuals of other kits, e.g. in 1/16, and other sources which enabled me to finish the rigging and control wires completely according to the original Flyer. The pilot Orville was my first painting of a figure, and this in 1/72 Have fun and feel free to ask, if you have questions! Frank Engine and pilot: See the tin solder: The ribs are individual parts:
