That´s looking good Terri. It was more easy to build for myself when your computer was down.Must get this kit before next Wingnut realise.
Give the hummer my regards

Well I'm still hammering away , but not much to report of late . Been very , very busy this summer with mountain biking and being on the putting range . Be glad when fall time is here . Things will start to slow down a bit for me .

Hi Terri

Things look like they are progressing well. I patiently await the next batch of photos.

Looks nice. I really like this plane. Even before I built the DVa I picked up a 1/72 resin kit from Choroszy Modelbud. If I hit the lottery... 1st I learn to fly... then I build a reproduction of one of these.

Thanks guy's , will try and have some progress soon .

Marc , how is the CM kit ?

Got the fuselage closed up .
Next will be to replace panel lines and rivet detail on the top of the nose of the fuselage . Will also drill out the holes where the lower wings meet the fuselage for a brass tubing for the news which will be palce in the wing root to add more support in this area .

Looking good Terri.... Beginning to look like a plane. It is neat to watch it come together... Waiting for the next update....

Hi Terri

Nice progress since last I looked in on this build – the fuselage is looking really good!

Best Regards

Mikael

Very interesting project and a beautiful airplane, happy sanding Terri girl

Thanks for the kind comments guy's ......
I should be able to get some time in front of the bench this weekend , weather isn't so great and will keep me indoors ......

Terri,
I guess our "Alberta Advantage" includes this endless rain, good thing you're working on a seaplane subject! I am considering going to a float version on my Pup. On the bright side too wet to do anything outside so it's a "bench" weekend, thus could be worse. Hope you post some progress soon, nice build.

Cheers,
Lance Just to cheer us up!

Come on Terri,, time to crank up the build.. Who needs a social life?

Thanks Lance and Warren !

Here is an up-date of what I did today .












Not sure what is going here , but the pictures don't show ......

Even stranger things have happened to me today!
Your photos open up at least and it's looking "mighty fine".
I have tried to get photos of my completed Alb. build onto the Gallery for KoTS too many times to count; they are gone but I'm not sure where. Photo Gallery has been a little wierd lately but I suspect operator error on my part is the problem.
Keep the updates rolling, it's a great subject and looking like another stellar product from "The Girl".

Cheers,
Lance

The fuselage is ready for another coat of primer to cover up the what needed to be redone .

Masking of the ribs and uder wing struture is finished and is waiting for the preshading od Tamiya brown mixed with black .

I have started work on the engine and scratching my head on which way I want to go with this . There are a few things which are not correct with the details and to what I have for ref's . So in the mean time a painting I go , a painting I will go ....Hi ho the dare'o a painting I will go ...

Quick fix Terri. img tags instead of url tags.

Great done. Now comes the best part, when a piece of plastic becomes a real plane.

Thanks Stephen for the aid with the pic's . I will get it right one day . The problem was in my gallery for over sized pic's . Thats all fixed now so I should have to use photobucket .

Hi Dani , she is coming along . I'm getting ready to start the per-shading and I still have some more putty work to do on the under side of the fuselage .

Been lurking in the background for a bit Terri but still love what you're doing here.

Thanks Marc !

Here is another up-date , wings have the per-shading done and the fuselage is sprayed white ready for masking so the red can be sprayed .

Very nice progress Terri – You've certainly nailed the preshading tecnique – this is going to look great!

Mikael

Thanks Mikael

I'm hoping this weekend I will be able to paint the red on the fuselage and start spraying the wings with some colour

Terri,
Your Macchi M.5 is coming along beautifully my friend. As always your projects never fail to impress. Looking forward to the next update.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Definitely a major SCHWING!

Not too bad !
