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.

Stick a fork in it folks it is done! It represents the Austin built F.8005, Lt. Rorison's mount from 25th Aero late 1918. The engine is of course the 200-220hp Wolseley Viper .





That completes my pledged builds.

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?

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?

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!
