And the top wing looks good from here. Think I see the finish line off in the distance....

Safe to say Glenn Curtiss would NOT be rolling in his grave with the justice you're doing here with his BFC.

Going well young fella.

Thinking of building this myself I can only think of two words: "Fight's On"

No violence now. Maybe you should do one of the other colour schemes - the Cuban and Turkish ones look good.

I almost did Udet's Hawk. It is a very historically significant aerioplane because it was the birth of the Stuka and the dive bomber concept. In the end I had to come back to my first love.

Looks great so far.

You could make Udet's Hawk somewhere in August. Like I said in post #5 I'll probably see the original one in PAM in Cracow. I could make some pictures.
I can't promise that now, but I'll keep you informed.

Too many phone calls and interruptions to make any progress!

No one now has any excuse not to rig Bipes. USE PAINTBRUSH BRISTLES! Works great. Paint any color with a Sharpie. Measure with dividers. Cut with your Xacto. Drop of glue at each end. Insert with tweezers! Viola! (Yes, Yes I know)

I even did the double flying wires in 1:100!

Striving to get this Lil beaut done...
