You built this in 1917? You're older than you look ;)

Thats cos I bathe in virgins milk, how else will I get all these kits built?

not sure how Im s'posed to make the stringers etc when the fuselage is horizontaly split, looks like a good excuse to add one of them 1920s ish preiser figures...

painted interior french khaki green, should be a half reasonable match for pc10 in this scale and darkened up the crannies...

wont bother with pedals if there's a pilot, just the control column and instrument panel later

with hindsight , i should've just put the seat5 on the floor of th e lower fuselage half and saved chopping the pilot in half.. oh well :(

I calling this done now, found the registration from the spares, fitted aero club 7mm wheels and lewis gun, must've been one of Peter's last mailings :(

Tried the EZ Line rigging from Paul at littlecars ( cracking stuff) used only on lines from wheels to outer wings - i wont be using fuse wire anymore.

Used pegasus RFC/RNAS roundels, although top roundels are a little too small ( I might fix that oneday ) - preiser figure - used life color dark gloss Italian green mixed with a touch of graugrun for PC10, hope you like... if you dont tell me why ! :) C'mon i can handle it....
