1to1scale Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Took a bit of effort, but the fuselage is together. Very little room for error on this one! Very nice work. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karimb Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 That's what I said back in August, now I built 2 Wingnut and have 10 in the stash. Careful, they are addictive! Oh how i second that opinion! Ive been bitten by the bug for the past two years and it's a breath of fresh air! Excellent progress on the Dolphin it looks super busy!

Gazzas Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 That's looks great, Tim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bstarr3 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) I don't want to detail your thread, Tim, but I wonder if anyone has suggestions for a good first WNW kit? Never done a biplane before. Edited January 17, 2018 by Bstarr3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 If it's rigging that scares you you could go Junkers J.1 which has no rigging. Roland C.II which only has a little. Or next up, the Albatros D.V which has more than the Roland but less than any British plane. Oh, the Fokker D.VII has none, too. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 If you're worried about rigging, aircraft like the Fokker DVII don't have a lot. The Hansa-Brandeburg float planes are the similar in that regard. The Junkers J1 is also fairly rigging free, but is still a bit tricky to build re: the wing alignment. Even rigged ones like the Camel or the Albatros actually aren't too bad if you take your time, use EZ-Line and follow the instructions. Same with the Dolphin. I wouldn't start with a DH-2 or an FE-2, however. Hope this helps, Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Don't worry about the rigging, with ez-line, it's pretty simple. Some kits are buggers for tight tolerances, some have incredibly thin and fragile parts, others have high parts counts. A few kits I think are simple are (if you can find one) the discontinued Sopwith Pup, SE.5a Hisso, and Fokker E.II/E.III are relatively simple builds with a little bit of rigging.

Gaz Well, DVII has a bit on landing gear and vertical stabilizer, but not much else. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
