well she is now officially finished, she's been a challenge at times for me! and was my first wood build in over 28 years, so im pleased with the end result. she was always a practice model prior to starting the Sopwith Camel, also from model airways, so i know she's not perfect. I would in all honesty build another one with a few minor changes as ive learnt a lot with this build. i didn't bother with the launching dolly as she will be displayed hanging from the ceiling. hope you all enjoyed the progress of this build many regards Dan dandare attached the following image(s): Built - MP4/23, Zero, Deagostini Falcon, Model Airways 1903 Wright Flyer, Senna Mp4/4.

Robin hi Robin Thank you so much for your comments yes its amazing how far man has come in such a short time 30's, 40's 50's 60's something new every decade, not sure how fast the super top secret super classified "ram Jet/hypersonic jet" is reaching nowadays? mach 5-6 i think! either way WOW just a little over 110 years and look at the technology. Camel im afraid will sit for a while as ive built up a good few issues of the Mclaren Mp4/4 to start on regards Dan Built - MP4/23, Zero, Deagostini Falcon, Model Airways 1903 Wright Flyer, Senna Mp4/4.

A superb build Dan and an even better end result!! 
You're a braver man than me, it looks so fragile that I'd be scared to even pick it up, let alone build it!! How on earth did you manage to keep it all in one piece without breaking anything during the build!? 
It makes you think how brave the Wright Brothers were to risk going aloft in something so flimsy doesn't it?
