Thought I would take another try at one of these 1/48 British S.E.5A WWI Aircraft. This kit came out of a Value Pack offered by Lindbergh a few years back. I’m using a different color of paint than I did on my first try at one of these. I have better out look on it also. This is what I got done so far.430696FE-BE3A-450C-9C76-BD6AD897CBEB.jpeg17D0AD14-A156-43FD-AAF9-BCC1B3E282BF.jpeg5EC68F1C-7BA7-4C95-8796-532BB2398A2B.jpegE1CCBDA0-8643-47B2-AC50-85D6EAF01D78.jpeg

Nice start Lee, hope this one goes well....don't remember this being available in 1/48 scale....I thought they were all 1/72 scale when I was a kid....funny how you remember things differently after so many years have gone by. Keep at it pard. Rick H.

Not a lot of parts there, looking like a relaxed build :thumb2:
Fairly sure that the 'Stearman' was used as a trainer for the RAF pilots who came over for training during WWII as well.

Rick. The original can out in 1958. It was Yellow on the box art I have one on the way from Sleezbay. Thanks for stopping by and the nice complement.

Gerry. Yes it looks relaxing until I get to the Rigging thenwe’ll see how “Relaxed” I am. Thanks for looking in don’t know if Rick brought any Goodies or not.

Tonight I built and painted the inside framing work for Cockpit added the instrument panel and done a little rigging on the frame work. I also painted the leather around the Cockpit. That’s it for tonight.

Jim. Thanks for the complement. I’m going to see what I can do with this one. To me I get more satisfaction out of improving a older kit that buying one with your homework already done. Thanks for stopping by.

Rick. Thanks for the complement. I’m undecided about the rigging but I am going to try it.
