Almost there. Unfortunately, for reasons I can not understand, I am having trouble with the antenna. It are just two wires that have to be rigged but I have tried it for about aight times the last two days.sergio wrote:I can not wait to see it finished ....
and failed 
It is probably bad "rigging" karma because I told another modeller that he's should rig his biplane....

Maybe I should just zoom in more instead of cropping? I will give it a try.

Or use the macro option if available 
Instead, a good picture at high resolution and a crop of intresting areas are fine

Just a small text update, I put the whole thing away for about a week.... then streched some sprue and made an antenna. The problem was that I had streched the sprue to thin. I did not make that mistake this time so everything went okay.
I only have to do a small touch up at the tail wheel and then it is finished, pics to follow tommorow.

Real nice Borg, what silver did you use for the NMF?

I started with a black base coat (that seems to be the recipy for any good NMF finish). Then a coat op Duplicolor metallic, that is quite shiney. I tone that down with a oil (Windsor Newton Ivory Black and Brown) wash then finish with a Duplicolor flat coat. I sometime highlight certain panels by gently polishing them with graphite powder. So this build was all done with rattle cans!
