Not sure, he was stacked out with boxes the other day when i went in. Couldnt move in there. He's only round the corner from you. Tell Him Andy sent you, he will know who you mean and sort you some good deals.

Well guys we are nearly there. I have completed the wing struts complete with Peto Tubes as you can see below.

And here we have the wings fitted and the start of the rigging. Unfortunatly, there are some more parts missing that is stoping me completing the rigging. I need to get some more ferrals and crimps. Should try to get these asap. once complete we have the aileron linkages to do and the Old Dutch is complete.

Thanks guys for your kind words. Well i went to see my mate Paul at Mikes Models today and picked up the missing parts i needed for the rigging. When i got home i completed the rigging and only have the aileron links to make. I took some picks of the finished rigging job, hope you can make it out ok.

Well guys its been 20 months since i started this tribute build to 'The Old Dutch', its been a long and slow build and ive loved every minute of it. A project that i will look at and love for the rest of my days for everything it stands for and for all the love and effection that i have poured into it as i ventured along the journey. Im now proud to say that it is finally complete. I would like to thank you all for following me through this build and for all your kind words along the way. Your contributions to this thread have been fantastic and have helped and inspired the build.

Thank You All from me and 'The Old Dutch'.

A glimps over the old girl until the time i set her up for a proper photo shoot and maybe a video. These will come and i will post them here when the time comes.

Andy she's gorgeous ...... you can see the sheer love and determination thats gone into this..

I have no problem in saying that i have a tear in my eye as i write this coz i feel your pride just from the short piece you wrote above.

hoping not to be too familiar but "Duchess ... look what your Andy can do"

[Guest]
