That looks amazing! Looking forward to the finished product. I'm a Wright Bros. buff and two years ago I took a ride on the 1910 Wright Flyer replica based here in Ohio.

Owly Chit ! !

 Whatta bunch of closework .  T.B.

 

Yeh tanker.  If you like those tiny models,  this one fits right in.  It comes with brass plates of detailed bell cranks, sprockets, motor parts etc.  The rigging is going yo be a challenge.  It's a large model that I plan to put in the office but the pieces are tiny.

Sorry about the double pics.  I tried the get links option and ended with double pics.   Anyhow,  I completed some of the pilots area today.

I'm getting an error message on your last three photos but the upper ones look incredible! A lot of work but the end results are going to be spectacular!

Here are some pics of the Wright Flyer.  This build reminds me a whole lot of building r/c planes.  The details and parts are amazing.  I haven't veared from the instructions other than some wood stain.  It probably would have looked great being entirely the lighter color, but I like the ribs detail and wanted them to stand out.  Anyhow,  any advice is appreciated
