Good choice.Ive built the 1/72 Matchbox and the SMER 1/48 kits in the past.HPH models are releasing a 1/32 kit soon.I may be tempted away from my usual 1/48 scale for that one.

[Alan 45]

A 1/32 scale wow! That would be a good size , I have an AR 196 in 1/32 scale and that's big enough,

I've thought about it but no the rigging still puts me off.

Good luck mate.

The rigging is quite easy on this one , if you fix the bottom half of the top wing to the kit you can drill through and tie it off , just pre drill a whole in the bottom wing and glue the other end into the hole and repeat as needed

Unfortunately the 1/32 kit costs £189.99p!

Oh well I know what I want for crimbo then

Looks like a great subject Alan, looking forward to seeing this complete.

The 1/32 kit seems pricey but seems in the ball park for limited run kits of this size, and I can imagine it would make into a really impressive model.

Anyway, good luck with the build

Cheers

To show the best way to do the rigging ill post a few pics later , with biplanes it's best to add the rigging during the build instead of after
