Alright, we have an update! Since last time I've added an interior, a curved upper decking, a tail, and (most importantly) a brand-spakin' new set of wings.
The wings are simply curved sheet brass (primed on one side to check for continuity) and a huge improvement over the older sanded-plastic wings.
While technically not as accurate as the others, they are close enough to survive close scrutiny. They are much more stable than the older wings and lack the droop which plagued my last attempt. Here's a photo or two from my old build:
...and the comparison from my NEW build:
I'm feeling REAL good about this one! This time I'm going to try my hand at scratchbuilding an engine and a cowl next (last time they were taken from an Avro 504). Probably the only thing NOT scratched on this one will be the wheels and the prop.
Stay tuned for updates!
