Jeff T Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Hi all, Just finished up this one, Wingnut Wings FE.2b (Late), its taken a long time to complete, I started it in 2016, and put it on the back burner until resuming work on it around September last year. Its unbelievable how a company can kit a model like this, and lay out all the direction you need to build it.Kits like this are great value for money, with the time it takes to put one together. I dont know if James Fahey is a member here, but I would like to thank him for his reference pics, I couldn't have rigged this without them, they are a gold mine of reference. I know the British aircraft used the flat type rigging wires on their aircraft, but that was going to be too much trying to install that type of rigging on this build, so I just used normal thread, ...I used Bob's Buckles eyelets and brass tube for rigging, plus some Gaspatch turnbuckles. For some reason the wood grain on my pics always looks darker and more reddish tone than it does in person, must be my camera or lens, dont know why it does it, ....you can see it looks a bit lighter on the in progress pics I took with my Iphone All comments and critiques welcome. Thanks for looking, Cheer's, Jeff. Edited March 28, 2020 by JT68 109, williamj, Landrotten Highlander and 19 others 20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Beautiful work Jeff. You should do some pix with a lighter background too. The dark background highlights the rigging nicely. Jeff T and 109 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff T Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Thanks a lot Mike!....I was struggling to find some half decent background paper as its been ages since I've completed anything to photograph, but yeah, if I can get some lighter stuff, I will. A couple more.... Cheer's, Jeff. MikeMaben, AlbertD, scvrobeson and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dpgsbody55 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Exquisite. . That rigging simply amazes me - I can't see me doing it to that extent. Great work. Michael Jeff T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Staggeringly good. Just bloody superb. Maybe get a better light source for the photos, as some of your exquisite detail is struggling to be seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
