Is it just the 2 of us doing the Eduard build? I am way behind so I had better crack on with this.

The cockpit bulkhead is a real pain to fit. Got to say that I'm struggling a bit with this one, it just doesn't want to fit together. Pantherman

Yes, it is a real pain I. The butt-enski.
I had a lot of trouble. Mine looks like crap, but it's just a learning process at this point as the next will be a little better knowing what to expect.

I like the new purchase you got.
I'm thinking of getting it as well. Maybe that could be the next build.

Sounds good to me, I am also liking the WW1 aircraft. I think I will try to find some very thin black wire for the rigging on my next one.

I agree. I never thought that this little planes would be this fun and harbor so many complexities.
I think I'll try this old rigging thread or some black sewing thread for this one. I agree a thin wire would be better.

You will like the bigger scale. I found the revell dr1 much easier to put together with the bigger parts. Pantherman
 
I tried my have at cables. These do not look good. So I might drill small holes to pit the cable in. Or maybe some stretched sprue and hope that Tamiya won't melt it too much.

Maybe super glue would be a better choice, but I tend to put too much on even with a toothpick (cocktail stick for our good friend, Pantherman ;)) or what about Pledge floor gloss? I've heard it can work as a glue.
Any suggestions on how to make my super glue less clumped?

I think I want to build the 1/32 now. There is such a drastic size difference.
I still want to group build the Sopwith you bought. I have to wait until my payday.

I really like your build. Then again I enjoy looking at all of your builds. They are all interesting.

Well thank you. I try my best, alot more work to be done to hopefully get a little bit better.

Love these group builds. I'm getting kind of hooked on the ww1 aircraft.

Watched a great PBS documentary about the first American squadron flying them in France, fantastic footage of the aircraft.

These group builds are alot of fun. It's nice to compare and learn from each other.
I'm kind of digging the WWI planes too. I found a WWI tank on amazon I might try at a later date. Do you remember the title of the show you saw? It sounds interesting.
