1/144 Louis Clement Triplane Glider

In a kit that I started before Christmas, and now my first finished kit this year,
I chose the diminutive triplane glider from Louis Clement.

This aircraft was part of the Combegrasse gliding competition in 1922.

The only addition I made was the rigging, using .004
transparent nylon thread colored with a silver sharpie.

It is not a well built kit, as something this small tested my limits. But it is small!

Wingspan is 1.5 inches. And thats the top wing.

With my issues visible, here are the pics.

An incredible model, Ray.

I had never heard of this airplane before.

You have produced another gem.

Super little model and an interesting little plane.

You say it is an SNP Model - my searches on the Internet did not work. Is there an SNP website?
