Scale Aviation Modeller International — November 2017

on the tailplane – about as

simple as a biplane can get.

The airscrew gets the usual

laminated wood-grain finish from

oil paints dragged over a tan base.

I do have a question for WNW

though. Why include a separate

boss for the back and not the front?

This leads to some tricky masking

when a separate piece at the front

would seem far more logical.

The final addition (for Options

C2 and E only) was part E39, which

is the item that attaches to the top

wing just above the cockpit. I was

initially confused as what this part

was supposed to represent, but a

closer scrutiny of the instructions

revealed it to be a rearview mirror.

CONCLUSION

I wonder if there are any superlatives

yet to be used to describe Wingnut

Wing’s offerings. They set the bar

high some years ago with their initial

releases, and have continued to raise

it with each new issue. They are a joy

to build, though as highlighted above,

there are also a few “why?” moments

here and there during construction.

Mostly, though, the kits almost

fall together. There are also a

number of omissions or anomalies

in the instruction sheet that need

addressing, but they hardly detract

from the experience of building yet

another antipodean masterpiece.

Thank you, Sir Peter; your

films are pretty good too.
