Hi Karl, yes I have seen it too. It seems to me that you cannot really just dip into biplanes on a casual basis very easily without getting the right kit. As these will be quite a rare excursion for me I will just have to do what I can with what I have.
anyway - I have made progress....
I used clamps like this to line things up.
It worked, just. I cemented the bottom outer pylons to the lower wing first.
Then it was the turn of the inner ones, cemented to the fuselage. I temporarily attached the upper wings and adjusted them into position. It was fiddly but I got there.
I then had some more parts to cement to the underside including the u/c legs.
All masked up.
incidentally, I think I might have a little too much rake on the wing but there is nothing I can do about it and will just have to live with it. It not much but I am pleased that at least I got it done. I really wont be doing WW1 models in a hurry much as I was tempted by the new Meng.
First interior grey green.
Then black primer...
There is a little work to do on some build flaws shown up by the primer. But, overall she is looking rather sexy in her black undies...
