Wow thats going to stand out in the cabinet Wayne

Thanks Karl, I rather like it myself.

The undercarriage is now in place and was a bit wobbly to start with, but once I added the 2 bracing wires with some tiny drops of superglue it strengthened it quite a bit.

So the bracing wires, er, braced the undercart - how clever is that ?!!
It's really looking the biz Wayne, a real beaut, and makes me want to do one, along with a SE5, both from WNW of course. But the probability of me ever getting around to it is about the same as that of finding Hitler's dog !

Thanks Guys, much appreciated.

Looks great so far Wayne!

Ok the hard part, turned out a bit easier than I thought it would be....painting the prop blades and getting a half decent wood effect....

painted the blades XF-60 Dark Yellow and then carefully applied the layered wood effect with a couple of Brown pencil shades, scrubbed up alright i think, considering i've never tried it before....

 

[Wurger]

Bravo !

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Wojtek.
