Ratch Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 It's the second one I've built @Vinnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hi Ratch, a great build of a daunting kit. Years ago I built the old Airfix Tiger Moth and I really struggled with the biplane design. So I can just imagine the hash I would have made of such a monstrous kit! Congrats for such a nice build. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Excellent work. I actually built one back in the last century. I was very pleased with it and myself for getting it finished. It had pride of place on my shelf until my Mother pranged it while dusting. 😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 BTW Ratch. Forgive my ignorance but that looks suspiciously like it's finished in NIVO. Hadn't realised it was used so early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Discussed recently on the WW1 forum...NIVO was applied to 0/400s in the final weeks of the war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this one of the easier biplanes to rig because the holes are pre-drilled and the wings are in upper and lower sections, hiding the knots and loose ends. IIRC the rigging helped the build making the wings more stable (much like in real life). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
