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

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.

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.

Thank you Lou.

Might try another "different" looking gilder next year.

Cheers
