One picture at a time, and then a lot of patience..... These planes were used onboard the Dutch carrier HMS Karel Doorman, they were search and rescue planes, alsofor crews that missed the landing deck. I found pictures that show these planes would land on the water next to rhe carrier and were taken onboard with a crane. linkUnfortunately no clear picture of how the hoisting cable was attached so I just made something up on top of the engine. So now everything is in place and time for primer and then some colour.

Well you certainly showed that one who's boss! Excellent rigging too, it really brings out the old school engineering used on this one.

Thanks Steve, must try some more rigging with an easier kit, noticed a lot of people use the 'holes in the wings' trick..

Great work Bert ! That canopy and the rigging would have killed my mojo for sure.
Can't wait to see some paint on it.

Thats a great base colour Bert and the X8 should sit very nicely over the top of that
