Good news is the decals are all in place. The kit I got had the older sets in them and needed a good deal of coaxing. I have gone with F.8005 Lt. Rorison's mount from 25th Aero. These need very warm water and lots of sol & set. Next more tail & aileron rigging and the Lewis gun & Foster mount. |

Excellent build there Stephen. I for one really appreciate your well documented build with all the "how to's" incorporated. Those made my build go better. What's the "Rule" for dropping the machine? Regards Steve |

Now that I am out of the GB I can add the clear triangle plates to the wing / stabilizer pulley inspection ports.
Also for anyone building this kit. or the Hisso motor version. The SE 5a has a steerable tail skid and the lowest access holes in the rear fuselage are for those cables. |

Aha! I had a feeling that we were going to end up with a US scheme here. Very nice Stephen. How did your Roden decals sit?
Cheers,

Greetings Hugh, My apologies for a tardy reply. The decals went on with some coaxing. First I gloss coated them and cut them out individually. Lots of sol & set applied. then a clean up of the dried residue. Next several coats of a clear matt lacquer. The trick is applying the matt clear coat when the previous matt coat is nearly dry. It seems to soften the gloss and the decal itself. |

excellent work. to me the different sizes of rigging gives it a really good look, if mine turns out half as good I'll be a happy bunnie! |
