Thought I'd try for a "speed" build.
Built from the bits box.
1.5 mm ply fins . The rest is balsa.
Doped thread on fins and fuselage .
Will be painted as the one in the Shuttleworth Collection.
Red and cream
Pretty much done. Have made a decal (on the fins).
Picture(s) to follow.

I has to look up what it was. I look forward to it.
Lou
Progress so far.
Cheers
Gordon
Are those shuttle fabric rib details on the vertical fins? Looks great.
Lou
That's them. They appear to be prominent in pictures. I'm not doing the wing ribs.
Gordon
Clipped together. Cream applied. Red will have to wait till I get back. Going away for a couple of days.
Cheers
Gordon
A beauty.
Lou
Thank you Lou.
There's not much to it.
Gordon
After a lot of masking applied red and achieved "crackling". Minor setback which will be fixed.
Gordon
Finished ............
A definite beauty.
Lou
Thank you Lou.
Might try another "different" looking gilder next year.
Cheers
Gordon
