Well that was a tad epic, the complex piping do sent quite go in as easily as Airfix says it will! Now for a couple more additions then phase two is complete!

RMCS that is a beautiful rendition and nice to see Airfix getting plaudits.....I have this kit in my stash, and it is next on the list after a WNW 1/32 Sopwith Tripe. What did you use for the blue on the pipes and may I ask your resources for the additional wiring?

 

If i can get mine half as good as  this I will be over the moon.

Thank you.  The blue is MIG metallic blue paint lightly sprayed on high listed areas. The extra wiring are just lengths of jewelry wire.

Well planning and prep has moved this project on a tad...still some weathering  to do before I finish this stage of the assembly..

And the detail is so good on this kit I have gone for it and opened up a couple of extra panels on the port wing..

Glad you posted again. I got this as a little quiet Christmas gift to myself. :whistle: Are you building OOB ? It looks sooo detailed. Great stuff. 

John.

Thanks mate. It's pretty much OOB .Except for the eduard cockpit PE. And a spot of scratch for the control lines.

Yes of course, sorry I actually watched you build those too, I scrolled through to the start to jog my memory.

all that frame work in the wing is insane. :o
