Felixstowe Top Wing on and Rigged! July 17 2011 at 9:11 PM		Dan Smith (no login) from IP address 174.24.143.113


All, It's hard to believe I started out with this: ...and ended up with this: I can't believe how well it went. Just one piece at a time and man is it strong! Very functional rigging. Now I only need to figure out how the wing tips rigging is attached, put on the pulleys along the top wing, rig the ailerons and other flying surfaces, etc......I guess there is more to do than I thought. But man, it's coming along now! In the pictures, the guns and props are just on for show so they need to be fitted better but this thing looks really impressive. I can't wait to do the Roden Gotha and put these two together with my Bloody Paralizer! Thanks for looking. Now back to some Airfix Revenge.

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature WWI Aircraft Kits.

This Group Build will run until 31 December, 2011.

Build as many kits as you like.

Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

Any markings are acceptable.

Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
