Thank's!

Resuming the build...



I glue the wheels covers and start the engine...















Is a tedious work because a small size of pieces, note the engine is Le Rohne from Nieuport 11 kit from Der Kampfflieger, is a correct engine for represent a genuine Nie 21



I applied a layer of semi mat varnish





After dry I fix the model in a foam jig, as usual in my biplane builds...

Continue...

I start the building of central cabane components...





I made higher wing metal hardware, with orthodontical wire (flexible and rigid)...



I fix the wing with carefull...







I view of hardware in the wing...



Building of main mounts









In the first I glue the mounts in higher wing with PVA glue, after dry i use in the base of mounts CA glue for made a strenght and correct alligment...

Great build. Where do you get those orthodontic wires. Do they normally come in arch form and not straight?

Papermate I use flexibe 0.008 wire, and rigid orthodontical wire segment (not curve). For main rigging I use a suture wire...

Many thank's...
