        This will be my two wingy stringy thingy. Looks like a nice straight forward build, then there's the knitting :surprised: They supply the stringy stuff and there are locating holes where it has to go.

          Mick, if you don't want to faff around with string use small diameter brass rod......cuts exactly to length and you don't have to worry about it going slack on you. :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2:

                I have too much stuff...

                Maybe the Grebe or the Woodcock...
                I was thinking of only about my 1/48 stuff - then I remembered the 1/72 candidates, Seafox, HP 0/400, HP Heyford etc. & thought Yes I have too much stuff as well!

                  I'm not going to decide until the end of the year, I think I have about 15 1/48 biplanes to choose from ( OK, II have several duplicates ), so I reckon I'll be able to choose one that no-one else is building ( SE5A crossed off already )

                      Any takers?
                      Would a tri-plane qualify Papa? I like the Fokker 'cos it doesn't seem to have much rigging or wing struts!
