Lee, that came out GREAT! what an interesting concept to employ as an aircraft starter. As always, the wheels do make a difference.

Thanks Rick I knew those wheels would work making the difference can’t believe I done that rigging took some time but I got it done thanks for stopping by and the complement

[Steve Jones]

That's the DB's Lee. Like it a alot. Great to see the outside photos. Well done sir :thumb2:

[Guest]

Great work Lee.

Lovely model Lee :smiling3:.

A quirky little contraption that's for sure. H&S would have a heart attack at that these days!

You've made a really great job of it though.

[JR]

Lee , it's a wow build alright, and what a strange looking contraption makes it unusual from the start .
Like Steve says great out side shots, the colour look good esp the canvas roof.
Could have sworn I'd commented of this before .

[Lee Drennen]

Steve. Thanks for the complement and following I’m getting the hang of how to do washes now I think.

Peter. Thanks for stopping by glad you could. Thanks for the complement

Ralph. Thanks for the complement and stopping by it was a very fun build a little changing on the rigging but I’m happy with it

Paint Guy. Thanks for stopping by and the complement it’s a wonder this thing work but I guess it did ok

John. I’m glad you made your way here I was getting worried thanks for the complement and stopping by I love taking those outside pics look for more Japanese Aircraft

Pete. Thanks for the pic! And for stopping by and the complement. Now that thing looks rickety

[stillp]

It does Lee, doesn't it. Looks as if it would spin itself round if the aircraft didn't start!
Shame I missed the business end. I'm sure I have a better phot somewhere.
