| Hey thanks John. Do you mean the fuselage mounted Vickers? I realise it should be there, but as it's a tissue only finish I decided I wouldn't have been able to create a neat enough channel for my liking, so decided to omit it. As for the Lewis gun atop the upper wing, I have some ideas but will think more about it as the build progresses. A litre of petrol over here has just gone over the £1 mark for the first time. People are not happy, and there are rumours of more fuel blockades again, as there were in 2000. Barnstormer, thank you :-) This is neither silkspan nor the kit supplied tissue (which was white), but Japanese tissue I purchased separately from SAMS Models. |

| CD, super craftsmanship. Have you thought about the M Gun? What is the cost of 4 liters of petrol on the other side of the pond? |

| Flawless covering job, are you using the wet method with silkspan or is this the tissue supplied with the kit? |

Next task is to fit the upper wing - should be fun! |

Turned out ok I think. |
| cdwheatley, Image # 5015 | 11 Nov 07 14:07 |
All done at last. |

The final piece of tissue in place and ready to be trimmed. |

| Looks already like a beautiful fit. Final covering s/b amazing. |

| Thank you for the vote of confidence David :-) I have just this evening fixed it in place, sanded and sealed etc, so it's now ready for covering. I will post more photos when that's done. |

| Mask the tissue coverd wing, sand away. Not to worry, Chris can do it. |
| SteveM, Comment for image # 4968 | 08 Nov 07 13:37 |
| You have to sand it in place, next to all of that tissue? |
| JohnG., Comment for image # 4967 | 08 Nov 07 13:36 |
| Clever......... |

| Once it is fixed in place, blended in with the fuselage fore and aft, then sanded and sealed, I can finish off by covering the whole of the underside. |

Another view. |
| cdwheatley, Image # 4967 | 08 Nov 07 12:08 |
Here it is just resting in place. |

| It is just three pieces of 1/32 inch balsa sheet carefully cut and sanded to shape. The plan says to "fill in with stringers and cover with tissue". I figured this would be much simpler to do! |

This is what I devised to fill in the gap under the centre of the lower wing. |

| As always Chris, beautiful work. Great idea for the cowl reattachment. |
| Barnstormer, Comment for image # 4956 | 06 Nov 07 18:22 |
| I agree, excellent covering job. |
