Nicely done Ricardo! Looks like some of the next steps will involve, rigging between the landing gear, wheels, tail skid and some rigging on that tail. Then there is the ailerons for the top wing and the actuation arms & rods for them. In all you have come very far along with your scratch build. Most interesting!

jack right on the spot, but i have been seeing some pics and i dont seems to have rigging on the tail, maybe because of the lower support arms, ddont know for sure.
One question do you have photos of the actuation arms and rods so i can undestand how they look like.
thanks for your help jack

thank you terri.

it was a fun project because i was learning how to work a 100% scratch job too.

And one more thing it was 2xfun because it was my first WWI plane, im a WWII man, .

So my next project i guess it will be a WWII plane ( an injected one) but i will defenitly do another WWI bird....i had in my hands yesterday a 1/32 nieuport 17 and i almost buyed it...but i have to burn some boxes i have in my room first.


But i'll come back that is a promess maybe with a scratch who know

something like this if i can get good plans

Very cool Ricardo. I have really enjoyed this build thanks for shariing. One small note of correction if I may the ailerons are a little too open. They did not travel that far .
