Maybe the oldest aircraft on the SSIG...lovely :)

You will have some work with the rigging :P

PS: thanks for join in Dave :)

I think the bit that'll make or break it is the rigging but hopefully in this scale it will be easiero_O

I'm quite looking forwards to this one. As you pointed out Dave, loads of different schemes to finish her in!

The first biplane of the SSIG (possibly the only one). This will be a really interesting build Dave and I'm really looking forward to it.

Cheers

A start has been made I've had a fair bit on the last few months and now there's a lull I thought I'd get the camel out. There seems to be plenty of flash to clean off but luckily not many parts.

Good to see this one getting of the starting blocks Dave, looking forward to following the build.

My dad has supplied me with some literature and using these a few small alterations have been made but one main one is shouting to be done the lower wing should have a dihedral of 5.5° the supplied wing is nowhere near but I've never altered a kit to this extent so do I do it or live with it.


I realise I'll need to alter the inter wing struts etc. But I don't think it'll look right at this scale without the correct dihedral.


Shall I take on the challenge?


Dave
 
Go for it Dave! at this scale it would be very noticeable especially now youve highlighted it - every time you looked at the completed model you would be drawn to it and think "why didnt i correct that!"! It should be fairly easy once you know how much to bend the wings up by. Its a one piece wing isnt it , I would try immersing it in some fairly hot but not boiling water then after a few minutes take it out and put something of the right size under each wing tip and a weight on the middle then leave it to cool and hopefully it'll reset in the correct 'bent' position . This might mean the outer interplane struts are a touch too long but thats easily sorted ,just cut them down a bit . On the other hand they could be ok - perhaps the kit wing is supposed to have a dihedral and has just straightened out in the box with age? hope this helps , cheers tony
 
that kit looks older than cracking work so far look forward to seeing more
