slow spot

I have the struts partially completed, but I have hit one of those modeling walls that pop up from time to time -- very little modeling urge at the moment. Struts...urgh!

Hmmm - inspiration to do struts. Maybe a little dose of Mr. Bob Seger will help...
:D

I needed to take a break from struts, so I finished the tail surfaces.

Got the top wing mounted today. In one of the pictures, you can see that there is a significant error in the location of the center struts; if one attaches them to the fuselage at the points indicated on the printed part, then the struts do not line up properly with the attachment points on the upper wing. I removed the struts from the fuselage, attached them first to the upper wing, then glued them to the fuselage wherever they would touch. It doesn't look too bad.

Struts are always the hardest part and these look great!

Although I have built only 3 biplanes, I experienced the same strut problem and only solution so far I found is same as you. Glue struts onto the wing first then glued the other edge of the struts onto fuselage.

Your build looks nice!!
