Just plodding along. Cleaned up the rudder decals to my satisafaction and have now permanently attached it.
Have made a pitot but I think I can improve on it.
Blanks prepared for aileron pulleys.

  Rigging done! Those that went "ping"at the inappropriate time will be left till the patience level reaches an acceptable level.
  Undercarriage, gun , windscreen attached.

  This just leaves the pitot. I've made one but I'm not happy with it.

  It has been finished to represent the aircraft flown by CAPT. Gordon C Wilson. 68 SQN RFC ( 2 SQN Australian Flying Corps) December 1917.
  He was the Fight commander of "B"Flight hence the numeral "1".
  I will be leaving off the flight commander pennants and Aldis sight.

  Nearly done.

Thank you Tom and Paul.

Just minor fiddley bits to be done when time permits. Then a final peruse by the quality assurance officer ( me) and she'
  done.
Doing the rigging was a good exercise.
