It's nice to have someone else join me in this SIG Peter and a nice choice I will also watch what you do with it.

Nice choice Peter, lots of construction steps with a biplane. Keen to see the construction build progress.

Here we go with the first half of the fuselage not much to it.


This is before and after sanding


Normally by now I would have broken half a dozen bits by now.
