Hi All

The model was lightly weathered and then sprayed with a matt varnish to seal it all in.

The wind shield was then added and then the Aldis sight mount was also fitted to the upper wing, the sight itself is fixed after the upper wing is fixed in position as it passes through the windshield

The upper wings were then added to the fuselage lined up glued and left to dry.

Next all the rigging wires were added along with the control cables and horns.

The last thing to be fitted were the wheels.

Still some stuff to add, more soon.

Hi All

The propellor and four bombs were made up and painted then the four bombs had there decals added. The bomb decals include the date of manufacture stencils on them too. The above parts were then added to the aircraft. I also managed to get hold of a nice little figure to go with the Snipe,link below:-

http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=25580

That concludes the build of my tribute build for R.A.F 100 and good luck to all those in the competition.

Would I build another Wingnuts kit the answer is a big yes, if your a WW1 aircraft fan these are the only way to go. the kits have a wealth of detail that is hard to convey with pictures and the instructions are the best I have seen in a good while that include pictures of the real aircraft.

More pictures will be in the finished build section.

Think this build will make a few take a look at Wingnuts kit range for a future build. Looks great, well done ThumpUp
