Good evening Carl. The kit goes together rather nicely. My big ol' paws are a bit much for it at times.

Marco Thank you very much for the compliment my good man. The rigging is done.... Or so I had thought. I realized that the cut outs for the horizontal stabilizers trim lines, top and bottom were never addressed. I looked right at them on the color plates for markings. It just never registered. I'll need to puzzle this one out.  The underside of the previous pic.  I had to use the flash light to light up the elevator control horn.  The cross rigging for the landing gear just got installed. You can see the cross bracing under the fuselage. That was my first external rigging on the beast. The Bristol was one of the few aircraft that had ventral cabane struts.

Keith Thank you very much my good man. I think I'm getting the hand of this "rigging" thing....what ever that means....  Carl I am glad you are enjoying this my good man. I've been eyeballing the FE.2b Late and the Felixstowe F.2A Late.....I must have slipped a cog.......

Jcon Thank you as always my friend. Jeff I love the smell too...except when it's coming from any of my rigs. Thank you my good man. Bruce I don't think that's 90W he's burning....I can smell it from here. Armorguy Thank you for the compliment my good man. Carl Thank you as always my good man. Hey! That Avatar looks awfully familiar. Where have I seen that......
