That is a really neat small bi-plane!
Again a plane I have never before paid attention to.

The good looking wiring seems to be silverish / metal colour ? E.g. not the normal dark wire you use, something new or have you painted it ?

Nice weathering under the wings, all in all great build!

I think you captured that feeling of early aviation very well. It looks delicate and fragile with all the rigging and the spoked wheels.

Very well executed biplane, Peter. I really like the propeller finish, how did you achieve it? Oil colors?

the prop and the struds are painted with oil color, think it is the best and easy way for wood .

thanks mates. Love biplanes you know, it makes fun to build strange old aircrafts

Kari, it is the same material for wiring, painted or more airbrushed light with the wings, looks silvr in the sun
