I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

It has its own self-adhesives, very flexible to fit over the "glass," and its easy to cut. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 24-Apr-16 15:51 Views : 491 Going to provide an inspection window and its surrounding frame Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 21-Apr-16 14:56 Views : 436 Of course, because I went through the laborious task of rib-stitching the fuselage, you might be interested on how the various stitching applied to real aircraft. Hope you enjoy! Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 21-Apr-16 14:55 Views : 438 You might also be intrigued to know that the zig-zag pinked ribbed surface tapes did not exist until during of WW I. Older types had this method of surface tapes across the wing ribs. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 21-Apr-16 14:52 Views : 434 This might be outside the realm of building the S.E. 5 in particular, but I thought everyone would benefit from seeing how the original wicker and wooden seats of older and biplane types were made. Hope you'll enjoy. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 20-Apr-16 14:51 Views : 414 This is the "Before" picture prior to me painting the small gap between stitches and giving it an overall glossy finish. It's just a bit of attention to the details. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 20-Apr-16 14:44 Views : 415 Did two things: A) filled in the small gaps between the stitches by using a very fine, pointed paint brush with olive drab, and then B) gave the whole thing a coat of glossy clear. I chose the glossy coat as I would like the model to look "factory fresh." Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 19-Apr-16 20:46 Views : 456 Getting a visual comparison of the machine gun housing to the rest of the fuselage profile. That's it for now. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 19-Apr-16 20:45 Views : 404 Transferred the paper template onto 1/4" balsa Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 19-Apr-16 20:44 Views : 405 This is where I am now. I dreaded this stage from the very beginning of the build. Don't know why, just "one of those things" I guess. There really isn't much in the way of photographs or drawings to truly use as a good reference. Pardon the pun, but at this stage, I'm going to "wing it." Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 19-Apr-16 20:41 Views : 405 Really didn't want to do it, but in order to maintain a modicum of authenticity of the real aircraft, I had to "debling" the hinges by painting over them. I thinned out the paint so as to allow the hinge details shows through. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 19-Apr-16 20:39 Views : 385 Used some "O" sized rivet decals also from MicroMark on the window framing. The original S.E. 5's instrument panel was located so far back deep within the recesses of the cockpit, the builders decided to cut out a window to allow sunlight shine through so the pilot could see the instruments.
