Hey guy's . This is my pick for the campaign . I'll be starting some time this week and will have pic's up when progress has been made

Verrrrry Interrrrresting:

Not one of the most attractive a/c the Brits ever made, but an interesting one to say the least. The rigging on this one would challenge the bosun on the Victory. Good luck on this one; most certainly a challening build. I am looking forward to seeing the progress.

Cheers

Nice pick, Terri!
I find this bird quite actractive!

I'll soon start my build too...

ciao
Edo

Nice one Terri

I have got one in the stash so I will be interested in your progress. Noting like good British agricultural engineering.

Ted

Thanks guy's ! It will be a fun build or a damn good learning curve

Work on the fuselage has begun with the removal of the engine panels and frame wrok sand away from the inside of the fuselage halves awaiting new framing to be installed .

Their is a few small issue with the kit ...more on this later

Terri,
Fantastic news,I can't wait to see the first photos of your project.
Reagrds,
gregory Jouette

This kit is in my stash also. And, if I am not mistaken, it was one of MvR's favorite targets.

Look at all the pretty rigging wires.

Hi Girl
I love you´r choise of model, will be interesting to see what you and you´r hands can do with this



Larsa Q

Terri, give us some photos!

Don't hold back, Terri. We're biting our nails...................

Mark

All good things come to those who wait ! In due time gentlemen, in due time

Excellent choice, Terry. I've started one myself. Have you settled on a particular plane or scheme yet. I started a hot debate over on the 'drome about the colors of 4395 and all BE2c's operating in Arabia which is still not resolved. Looking forward to seeing yours.

Thanks Bud , nice to see you here as well . I've been following the thread on the Drome -interesting comments so far on the subject so far . Hopefully some one will chime in and give you a better answer to your question .

As for the markings , that's still up in the air at the moment , Roden does give the modeller a nice selection on options , but nothing with stripes The Windsock data file has a very interesting one so I might go for that one .......


Pic's will be up soon guy's -just finished the framing last night so watch this space over the weekend

Terri
Will will like to have some pics Here




Larsa Q

Pic's will be up later today guy's , just waiting for the sun to come out for daylight .

It's very interesting

Good luck Ms. Terri


Cheers Nick

Thanks Nick

Well I finally did it , took them pic's for you on what has been done so far . Few more things to finish up on but the main part of it is done .

I wanted to add a little detail with out havinng to redo all of the parts and Roden does have some nice detail and a few bits added gives it that extra something . New framing was installed , wood and fabric areas painted and weathered . Fuslage rigging was added along with turn buckles . This was done to the rudder bar as well . Still have the right side to do though . Obseverer seat and fuel tank paint in alum and lightly polished with seat belts added from Eduards line of PE parts .

Lookin good so far Terri. This aircraft is kind of like the Junkers J-1. It grows on you.

Looking forward to more pics as you progress.

Terri, I am looking at the second photo showing cabain bracing. Is that your handi work, or kit supplied? WOW it looks great.



Robert

Hi Terri!
looks good indeed!
excellent work on the inside rigging: did you drill through the fusolage to attach the rigging?
keep on posting!

ciao
Edo

Thanks Mark , it does kinda grows on you . Had a hard time putting it over the weekend .

Robert , those aren't kit parts . I made the interior rigging with stretched q-tip bits and smoke momo thread .

Edo , no holes are drilled at all . I did this by slipping on two bits of the q-tip bits gluing one to the thread and trimmed off the waste on the end . A small drop of thick super glue was place in the conrer of the framing and angled to the direction of pull and placed a small drop of accelerator.
Pulling taunght to the other coner the other q-tip bit was slid into place and glued in the same manner and the eccess trimmed off when dried .

more to follow soon ..........

Great job so far, Terri. So, you're thinking of doing Zebra? That will be a challenge, but really stunning when you're done. Here are a few sites that I found useful in building my BE2c. Hope they come in handy for you.

Looks great Terri. Where'd you find the wire?

Terri,
Excellent progress.I'm impressed with your internal rigging. Something I've not done but will making my first attempt in 1/48 scale with my Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter.Looking forward to your next update.
