Beautiful "as delivered" finish, Terri, especially the wood. ... The pilot better duck if the observer swings that Lewis across !!

I think it's just great
But the real aircraft was a whole mistake
It had the machine gunner on the front ( ) And the pilot was sitting back ( ).
I was reading a book that it was writing (for fun) that the aircraft had propably designed by german spies
Cheers Nick

Beautiful Build Terri. Amazing to see how you have grown steadily more competent and learned with every build since I started posting.
I can only imagine the por pilot as the gun spat god knows what over him as it was fired, not to mention trying to see past the observer who would be moving this way and that as he aimed the gun...you do have to wonder at designers logic sometimes.

did you hire out for the photo shoots? I find that to be as great a challenge as building the model.I have a nephew who is a pro that is going to help me out so expensive to purchase the right photo equipment.

Nope didn't hire anyone to shoot the pic's . I used my kitchen table with the blinds open , auto setting on the camera with the micro setting as well . Nothing fancy at all . It was a member here which help me with the topic of shooting pic's , still don't understand most of it . Most of the pic's I post are a hit and miss . but the lighting is very important from what I have leqrned so far .

It seems like only yesterday, we were trying to get Terri to post picures for the first time. She is an inspiration to a few of the older and more experienced builders also.

Great aircraft and sorry for coming bounding onto to the site with a question that no doubt you've answered a thousand times before. Rigging, my knowledge of WW1 wing rigging you could write on the back of a postage stamp, I can't but notice the cable ties from bottom to top of the wing via a cable that I use to use string with super glue dribbled down it. How and what are you using for these anchor points (like turn-buckles) ? Look forward to your reply.
