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

It's like you've never been away! Still turning out stunning figure painting, lovely work, OC

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

That's the joy of the forum, learning and sharing tips,tricks and information. 😀👍

If you're on a pc or tablet, you should be able to download a translation app and basically do the same thing😉🤭
-
Yes, take a photo or scan the document and then import it into the translator. Just checked, mine is Google Translate.
-
I used a translation app on my phone and saved the results as a pdf. Although with this kit, the construction drawings have helped me, much like the drawings in a plastic kit. For me, it is getting the curves to flow rather than angular. Oh! and rolling small parts😑😄 With this kit costing me less than £10 with laser cut parts and shipping, it wouldn't be a big loss if I cock up and bin it😊 I don't think I'm quite ready to tackle a ship of the line type kit though. I'm still just dipping my toes in😏

Tonight's progress, I put the outer skins on the tailplane (horizontal thingies 😁) but oh my, those edges really do need tidying up! One side is definitely better than the other, as the second went on better. I appreciate all the likes and comments 😊 Many thanks to all who have had a looksie. Cheers

Well, who'd have thought it!🤭 Thank you kindly, Ken, 😉 Thank you Alan, I don't even need a draught, I can drop and lose parts in card, wood and plastic!😂 Resistance IS futile🤭

Last night's bit of work, the prop, got me pulling my remaining hair out! i got there in the end. The landing gear is dry fitted to check and the wheels need some work to get them looking better Next up the tail and horizontal thingies at the back. Ps still got a lot of edges to colour in. Thanks for looking in, the likes, all and any comments. Cheers

RH, welcome to MSW

Looking good Alan, there is plentiful detail on these 1/72 tanks of yours. Very nice work.
-
Agreed!! You'll not lose this audience 😉
-
Ah, I couldn't say wether an actual hobby store stocks these sort of models, as in my local area model hobby shops are rarer than rocking horse manure.
-
I went through Draf Models, direct from Poland, reasonable delivery costs to the UK. The others Chris mentioned ship to the USA according to their websites.
-
Thank you Chris. Yes it does, I must say I'm tempted to buy another just to do the RFC version. I shall contemplate it!

Ahem😏, that's where I've struggled! The curve on the front of the fuselage, hasn't quite got the form it should have, but I'll know next time. So, tonight the rest of the fuselage skins have been attached I decided to do the Navy version rather than the Royal Flying Corps Next was the step I really wasn't looking forward to, the engine cowl. As luck would have it, my glue stick was the ideal size to use as a former and stand. And it fits perfectly with a test fit,a bit of touch up on the raw edges to tidy it up and there is the dodgy curve on the fuselage, not quite as rounded as I would have like around the exhaust area😬 But despite these little niggles, I'm really enjoying this build. Once again, thank you for hitting the thumbs up, comments and just calling by. Cheers

Another little update, the rest of the cylinders are done I've added the details. These things were a little bit fiddly, and by the end my eyes were crossed 🤪😵💫 the landing gear struts are reinforced with a wire spine and the fuselage gets its first outer skin I'm finding 90 or so minutes is just about enough to work on the Pup, before my eyes get tired. Many thanks for all likes and comments. Cheers
