| Nicely done and well engineered. A beautiful model! |

| The struts have small alluminum tubes at the end that meets the fuselage. The fuselage has L shaped wires that fit into the strut tubes. The top end of the struts have a small piece of R/C hinge material, that fit into slots in the wing. |

This 28" wingspan plane came in at 72g. It flies, but, due to lack of dihedral cannot turn enough to fly in a medium size gym. I stll need to test it outdoors. |

| What beautiful delicate structure. |

The outer panels of the wings are removable, with all the struts attached. |

| Beautiful structure and work. How are the main struts attached? |

I covered the plane with Japanese tissue. I joined sections together of different colours, to reduce the amount of paint required. |

Note that the kit has all control surfaces movable. |

It was a bit of work to get all the struts to allign. |

The Vickers machine guns are made with a lamination of tissue and paper, with numerous creases, to make the fins. |

Wheels are made from a ring of balsa, wrapped with black tissue. |

My technique for making training edges is to cut them off a sheet of balsa, before building the wing. |

The frame from the nose block is a irregular shape to key it in the correct position |
| John Cooper, Image # 6180 | 28 Jan 08 20:45 |
The half engine is balsa, with thread used to represent the coolling fins |
| John Cooper, Image # 6179 | 28 Jan 08 20:39 |
The wing has scale rib spacing, including all the false ribs. |

The fuselage frame went together well with excellent parts fit. |
