Here is what I've managed to cobble together thus far. Cheers, Devo 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossofiron1971 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 oooh, lovely work! Might have a look at one of these myself! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devo Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Well this is as far as this build goes. I have managed to lose part B10, which is the horizontal tailplane. I have ripped apart my modeling area 3 times in my search for the missing part.......but no joy. I sent an e-mail to the WNW help desk but I'm not going to hold my breath over getting a replacement part. I should bin the whole the damn thing.........

colin Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Don't bin it Devo, you haven't lost it, you've just misplaced it. It will turn up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will turn up I can only live in hope that it will reappear Colin. I can't even blame the carpet monster because their is no carpet on the deck!!! Well it lived in the stash for 7 years.......see what happens over the next seven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devo Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Well good news indeed. WNW replied to my request for getting a replacement part and it has all turned out great. I have a complete new B sprue that will be crossing the ditch very shortly, you beauty!! Thanks WNW / Weta workshop. Only trouble......... I have to now finish the half started WNW Albatros DV pulled from the shelf of doom where it has languished for a few years, before continuing the SE5a. All good though! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devo Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 G'day All, Well I have been slowly Pffaffing around with the Scout Experimental and have put the donk and radiator on, gun, sight and inner wing strutty bits. Slapped a bit of paint on with the hairy stick as well. The landing gear is just dry fit at the moment. It will be finished as this aircraft.......hopefully Cheers, Devo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devo Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) G'day All, Well SE.5a is on its way to being finished. Got all the rigging done (my hat is truly doffed to those who use turnbuckles and eyelets!!!) Started a bit of weathering to the paint work. Did the prop (I think I buggered it), I was going for the darker mahogany type look found on RFC/AFC aircraft. Some pics.

Calum Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Nice work. What did you use for the rigging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devo Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 4 hours ago, Calum said: Nice work. What did you use for the rigging? Thanks Calum. I use EZ Line for the rigging. I bought mine from WNW when I got my first 3 kits from them originally in 2012.. It comes 100ft to a spool!! For me, its like trying to glue spider web!!! Definitely a skill all unto its own, of which I'm at numpty level!! (Three hands and 500 zoom optics would help I'm sure.) The guys who use EZ Line and turnbuckles and eyelets etc to rig their models have my respect. Cheers, Devo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
