Here's the latest work from the last post. I've added the upper wing and added the fuselage wing supports. After getting the wing in place I found out that fuselage supports provided in the kit were too short so I had to scratch new ones from brass rod. I think they turned out pretty good.

This is why i tend to shy away from aero modelling,i would love to have a go at it,but,Tin Can this is what i call real modelling,biplanes with struts,exposed undercarraige,the whole thing takes my breath away,keep us updated on this project,maybe i can learn something.

I will Arthur and thanks for the comments. If you wanna see some really nice biplane work take a look at Holdfasts' HS-123.

:-) Hey Bryan, I wouldn't put the Hs 123 in the same class as your Gladiator, there are only 4 small rigging wires. I to have shied away from Biplanes, but I do have the Swordfish which is an awsome model. I should have a go :-)
This is really looking good :-)
