FG2Si Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I finished this build earlier this month. This is my first biplane kit and my first attempt at rigging. I know the rigging should have been flat wire but I didn't learn that till after I bought the EZ Line so I stuck with that. This probably won't be my last biplane but I'll be sticking with Spitfires and Corsairs for the near future. Thanks for looking in and Happy New Year!

Spitfire31 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 That's a BBB (Beautiful Biplane Build)! She looks perfect from the photos, perfectly conveying that mixed impression of fragility and strength. Happy New Modelling Year!

Viking Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Wonderful result! Post war biplanes of the Silver Wings era are some of my favourites, I wish there were more kits available. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Very impressive mate - if this is your first go on a bi-plane, I cannot wait to see your next ones! Great job on the rigging. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Modeller Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 That is a beautiful model Carl, you should be very proud of your work. A very neat and tidy build, well done. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FG2Si Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Thanks everyone! It certainly was a bit of a challenge for me and out of my usual comfort zone of Spitfires, Corsairs and Phantoms. Hopefully it won't be my last biplane. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 That is a fabulous build with not a paint blemish or seam in sight; great photography too! For a first biplane build, you should be very proud indeed. Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 When I first saw this I rushed off a link to a couple of modelling friends, but I neglected to say here what a pretty job you did of it! bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Stunning result, Carl. I think that the rigging looks excellent, and the paint finish is gorgeous. Go on, do another biplane, you know you want to!!😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG2Si Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the comments. I primarily build in 32nd scale so that was the easy part. The rigging didn't go as bad as I thought but it was definitely hit and miss initally in getting them to stay anchored. Part of the learning process I guess. I've picked up another WNW my so I guess this won't be my last biplane. But first I need to clear the bench of a couple Spitfires. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
