Nice!
Love those Fleet Air Arm aircraft. My first plane, on the bench right now, is a Blackburn SKUA!
Like the rigging and good on you to scratch a Lewis!

Another superb looking small scale bi-plane for us chip. Well painted and detailed and it's got a good base to set it all off. I don't know how some of you guys work in this scale but it sure is cool to look at.

Thank you! The scale I build is based on display room. I can't imagine how to display all the large scale kits that are popular these days. One thing thats really good is the amount of research time you can save by taking a look at the large scale builds.

taking a look at the large scale builds

...good point!
I imagine downloading instructions for the larger scale kits from Scalemates might also be helpful!

Recently I did that with the instructions for a 3D printed kit (same scale) which was much more detailed (and $$$) then the one I was building. Inspiration for scratch!!
