Looks like you have met the parasol wing challenge! Nice work.

Nice job attaching the wing. That's always been the trickiest part of WWI planes for me.

That is one very pretty plane, great job.

Excellent clean work on that wing attachment, Peter. What a very beautiful airplane model this is!

Are you doing anything to keep the foamcore from warping?

Thanks Don and everyone for the comments.. I'm giving the Foamcor a good coating of Future on both sides, and really letting it soak into the edges. Once dry, then I applied all my ground cover.

Here's the end results.. Ground cover is static grass and odd bits of stuff lying about.. drybrushed with assorted greens & browns. I made up some chocks for the tires out of some scrape basswood..

All the rigging is stretched spruce.. windscreen is a piece of clear acetate cut to shape using the one from the kit as a template, then painted in the frame . I like mounting the models on a base, because it lets people handle it without touching the model and screwing something up..... Plus IMO it's a nice way of presenting the model..

I'm quite happy with the overall results, and want to give thanks to Chris & Marek for allowing me to do take part in the Marathon..

That's really an impressive build! I love the base.

Excellent display and model

Great job all around. Nice precise work, and a good looking base thrown in for good measure.

Well, you have every reason to be happy with this one, Peter. You did an outstanding job on the model -- and you had a very attractive airplane and color scheme to work with.

The presentation is first rate!
