[Gnomey]

Nice work so far Bill!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Great start Bill, such a detailed engine for such a small craft and that seat cushion……………..what did yiou use!

 

[N4521U]

The cushion is from the kit....... the engine is good tho eh?

 

[Crimea_River]

Luvin' it!

 

[Rogi]

The engine is amazing, very Eduard kit style very cool. Even if she is Roden

I hope to see some wood grain soon on her

 

[N4521U]

I hope to see some wood grain soon on her

I'll have to recruit old Johnny Walker to help in that!

What an excuse eh Bill?

Great work with the seat, and I love that engine!

Btw, do you need interior photographs? Borrowing a book from a mate with an original F2B sans canvas covering- full interior from nose to tail visible.

 

[Wayne Little]

Good start Bill!

Ooooo, that sound interesting. Not sure how much interior detail your intimating, but send 'em on.
I have painted the engine, aluminum, and will hand paint the accessories as needed.

Cool pic's Evan. That should tickle Bill's innards !!

[A4K]

I reckon so Charles!

 

[N4521U]

Consider me tickled.
Here's my way of painting parts and preserving the gluing pins and holes for gluing after painting. Little pieces of styrene rod, and a little glue-tac.

Sailoring on.

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff Bill, and great pics Evan. I might have a couple of detail shots (exterior) of the 'Brisfit' at Duxford - I'll see if there's anything useful.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks like a great reference.

 

[A4K]

Great books indeed. Just borrowing them, so will be photocopying like mad shortly! (Wellington and all sorts in there...)

Like that technique for preserving the gluing pins Bill - consider it stolen!

 

[N4521U]

Consider it shared!

 

[ccheese]

Good idea, Bill. You da man !! Now about that tiny prop.....
