DaddyO Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Morning all. Managed to wrap up this build which has been on the bench since early December! There's a full thread of what's been going on here- For those who've not been following it started life as the 'new' KP 1/72 kit, but had a lot of changes made during construction and various bits of metalwork and etched brass details added (struts are made from soldered brass for example) Cheers Paul 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Slowbuild Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I get to be first to say that’s a smashing job you’ve done there! Love the rib effect on the undersides 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Slowbuild Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Having commented on the RFI earlier, I’ve just gone and read through your WIP, absolutely fantastic work! Love the jig, I’ll be trying that myself on my next biplane! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the jig, I’ll be trying that myself on my next biplane! It worked pretty well Dave and was quick to make. (I made this one the wrong way round for a backward stagger model, but I've since made one the same way for a 'normal stagger' bipe also on the bench and it's worked fine)😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieW Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Super work, it looks great on its base. The hand held shot really shows the quality of the details and rigging on what is a pretty tiny model! Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Cheers Ritchie 🙂 One thing I'd definitely do differently is leave a bigger gap between the paired flying wires next time (they were a right PITA to do and you can't tell unless I poke something in between them) 🙄 Ah well. Just started another PC10 coloured machine so obviously this one didn't put me off . . . .
