    So, I managed to complete the rigging, fit the gun and then realised that the windshield needed fitting 🙄. So very carefully in order not to snap any cables or knock the gun off, glued the very last piece on. That's it, my first serious card model finished 😊 There are plenty of lessons learned, mainly to take a bit more care with glue, especially the CA used to attach the rigging. Taking more time to match the colours for the edges, is also something I'll need to do next time. All in all, it's been a fun little build, I've enjoyed building this plane. It was fairly straightforward, and would be a very suitable subject for novice card modellers. Now for some more photos. Thanks to everyone who has followed along and for the likes, your input is greatly appreciated. @ccoylegets a special mention because, it's all his fault😁 Till next time Cheers

    Stunning looking ship Glenn, it's been a joy to follow, albeit silently.

    Rain has stopped play, early day from work, so I used some unexpected free time to put together the Lewis MG The tweezer ping happened as I was trying to attach the handle, so improvising and overcoming, a small piece of brass wire became the handle. It goes without saying, the barrel is brass too, I've still not managed to roll the small tubes satisfactorily 😬. I'll keep practicing though 😉. Just have darken the edges. Thanks for looking in and the likes. Cheers

    Bit more done with the tailplane rigging another long look at the rigging diagram and I think that's it for the rear of the plane. So before I move onto the wings I've got a couple more bits to do, starting with the weapon. the version I've done has the Lewis gun. To be honest I have toyed with the idea of buying the aftermarket weapons, but that would feel too much like cheating😇🤭 As always thanks for visiting, commenting and all the likes. Cheers

    Thankyou gentlemen, I think I've worked out the run of all the lines, after a long perusal of the diagram and lots of looking at various pictures of other models and full size Pups. so I've started with the rigging at the back. This may take a while😊 I'm using fine black EZline. This is the first rigging I've done since Sherbourne and I'm a bit rusty. Thanks for all the comments, likes and having a peep. Cheers

    Oh I'm in! Real nice looking kit, don't strain that left eye😉. Nothing wrong with brush painting.

    Hello again, another hour on the pup, and the top wings are attached. The struts were a little bit fiddly then trying to line the struts up with the tiny pinholes in the top wing was even worse. Next time I'm going to attempt do all the rigging on it. The diagram to do this is slightly vague, as there are no steps to follow, just lots dashed lines showing the runoff the rigging. Thank you to those who've commented, hit the thumbs up and just visited. Cheers

    Zac, welcome to MSW. The best advice I could give is definitely start that build log, as you can get an amazing amount of help, advice and encouragement from any who look in. Best of luck with Endurance, hope to see your build log soon. Have fun. PS, the shop notes, modelling tips and research section is also a good place to look and ask questions in.

    I thought much the same as Derek and BE! If the bar goes any higher, I'll be able to walk under it. Excellent work as always. I'll enjoy following the subsequent chapters.

    I've struggled to find time for the pup this week, but managed 90 minutes or so tonight. The lower wings and horizontal stabilizer have been fixed. Also the tail fin, rudder and rear flaps. Finally for tonight the lower wing flaps. Thanks for all your encouraging comments, the likes and popping by. Cheers

    Nice work, Richard. It's nice to see that model put together, and looking good! For a free download, it does make a nice model. I will definitely give my one a try.

    Good evening, not a lot has changed, but I have got all the wings skinned. I think I've got all the edges coloured The wings are not glued yet I just wanted to see what it looked like and make the obligatory engine noises as it is flown round my head😊😁 Thanks for any input, likes, etc... Cheers BTW, whilst browsing the Internet, especially Wak models, I couldn't help but notice and subsequently download the free WW1 monoplane modelWAK-E-001-MoraneG.pdf

    If you're on a pc or tablet, you should be able to download a translation app and basically do the same thing😉🤭
