from Model Airways.  My first wooden build and it kicked my butt.  I lost count of the number of times I reached into the model to apply something and broke a part.  Instructions aren't the greatest, but in all fairness this one was above my pay grade.

Well, despite the rump whoopin' it gave you, you did an absolutely marvelous job on it. It really is a baeuty. You've earned your pay raise.

Thank You for sharing.

Cheers, Joe

I totally agree with what Joe said above. You really kicked that kits butt. Great job. Love the rigging. Looks like you would do great with Wingnut kits.

Stay safe.

Thanks,

I have lusted after that kit for quite awhile.  Hope I can find a really good sale for it.  I got started modeling with the stick and tissue flying models, so hope it won't be too much for me.  Also, since I do sailing ship models I am pretty experienced with rigging, so don't fear that either.  I hope I am not a case of "fools rush in where wise men fear to tread."

Excellent job, looks great!
