| Excellent work! Great deal of attention to detail! Did you fabricate your own instruments? If you did, I lost that post. |

| Thanks guys. Skye, I did fabricate the instruments and used photos of the original gauges which my wife,bless her, scaled to fit in photoshop. |

| What scale are you building in? I'm very impressed with this work! |

| Ed, the box that the Guillows kit came in says that the scale is approximately 1:12. Rather than building true-to-scale I usually end up with whatever-will-fit that can be fabricated from the materials at hand. This one was a tight fit! |

| Well, scale or not, very impressive! |

| Your efforts in reproducing scale or scale approximate components is exemplary. I have found that most kits regardless of mfg inly approximate their ‘scale’ whenever they offer a 30” wingspan or 24” wingspan. I use the math to figure it out. Also typical on older period aircraft I typically use smaller scale pilots than indicated because most are based on a 6’ tall human body..but in 1917-18 people were much smaller.. |
