Congratulations, Ray! It's a beautiful accomplishment of a really unusual aircraft! Very well done! :clap2:

 

Looking forward to the final pictures in the Gallery!

 

I also wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 

Cheers

Fantastic to see this one in the gallery. This is right up my street - very unusual and until shortly before this GB also unknown to me (I found out about it via a book on early RFC/RNAS aircraft). That is superb rigging and rendition of the wood floats and propellor. Try rolling wire under a flat strip of metal on a flat hard surface - I do so for rigging wires - it works very well. Congratulations on a really good model.

 

 

This is definitely one on my to do list but I will probably make mine an RFC machine with a land undercarriage.

Yes, the prop is backwards. On the 2nd pic above (the one from behind) the engine and prop would be turning anti-clockwise, so the prop is pulling backwards instead of forwards.

 Nice job though, she looks great!
