Scratch building Billy Bishop's SE-5a

[mor54]

Hello all,

Before bonding the upper wing, I bonded the wind shield, gun cover and horizontal tail.





For assembly of the upper wing, bonded first the struts at the wing ends. Preferred to start with the outer struts, because the bigger span is less sensitive for an angular mistake.



Used a small "toll" to make sure that the struts are at the right angle to the wing.



Last step is bonding the upper wing, a full set-up is needed for this.



Next are the center struts and landing gear.

Thanks Rata, MichaelS, Yoav and Mike1158, hoop to post more advance at the weekend.

Mike, if your apology post is related to your last comment in this thread, I was not offended (may be that my English is not "reach" enough). If it is so, I don't see any reason for you to leave this forum.

Hello all,

The upper wing is bonded to the wing struts and than I bonded the fuselage struts.

In the first two pictures the model is on his nose.





A close up to the cockpit and wind shield.











Next are the landing gear and the radiator.
