Thank Jim.

It'll have pride of place when I get my new display rack built.

Sorry Im late, not sure how I missed this one but Im here now!

What a simply gorgeous build And a first for you? Excellent paintwork, as usual and the build top quality too! As for the Tamiya PE stay wires... Not your fault at all they look a lot better than mine did. (I gave up and used stainless wire!)
A model to be proud of. Maybe you would want a look at the Walrus (Shagbat) that Airfix put out a while back. Every bit as good a kit at the Swordfish (string bag).

I almost want to build another now, maybe the wheeled one next time...

Thanks Dave, another build where the end result seems proportional to the amount of enjoyment I had making it.

Thanks Ian. Yes, my first biplane but not my last for sure.

I think you mentioned the Walrus before, it's on my list :smiling3:
