Thanks Mark. I think that you'll like it better in person. I can never quite take the photos just right...

Thank you Lyle. This method and attempt at rigging came out better looking than I had hoped and expected.

And here we have it, my last completed build for 2015, and my first biplane in probably 35 years at least... Top coat of Humbrol Enamel Matt Clear airbrushed on, and some some quick photos taken with my iphone in a hasty manner...

Now who wants to fly this thing? Looks like I have a couple of volunteers...

I'll get more photos up tomorrow, using my real camera... after the hangover wears off... :bag:

Mark I am really looking forward to bringing this there in a couple weeks. I definitely want to get it critiqued by Joe LeMusio, our guru of biplanes.

He did give me some good info at AMPS last month. But he was just working off photos on my phone. He already told me that this particular kit has been voted the worst available biplane kit by biplane fans....
