Description
My first biplane model, and my first time doing so much rigging on a plane. Ive done rigging on ships, but this is way different! I forgot to mention in the previous pic, I had to hand paint the red, white and blue stripes on the tail, that took some time to do! For some reason Hasegawa decided to be cheap and not make a decal for the tail :/ Oh well....they did great on the rest of the model, its pretty detailed for a vintage kit being built right out of the boxRelated content

Cool - rigging scares me. That's why I haven't tried a WWI or any bi-plane. Great paint work too!

Thanks! I mainly do antennae rigging on planes, but this was waaay harder than thought it would be...When or if i buy another biplane, I'll give it plenty of thought before I make the purchase! lol

I'm with this guy. . .lol
Only thing that gets me though is the fuselage is weathered, yet the wings look factory fresh. Or being canvas they would always look like that?

Thanks, dude! Yes I did go with a black acrylic wash to bring out the rivet detail. This one was trick because it has raised panel lines, and rivets, when I'm used to recessed panel details.
