Lochsa River Авторthank you,
more pics on the way....a new photo setup is being tested...it started with a graduated blue background.
But, with the blue wings on this plane, it seemed too much...then a gray graduated background was used but the gray doesn't stand out like the blue...so, testing is underway

Lochsa River АвторI have a Scalemates admission to make here...perhaps I should PM Tim so he will be sure to see it!
Seriously, here is what happened...that little model was moved again and again for testing of the backgrounds, eventually fell on the floor and was slightly damaged...then it had little pieces of carpet fuzz all over it....
long story short....i had touched up the model to get rid of some spots on the left side, but never got a decent photo with that fix...so i touched up an earlier series of photos and got rid of the spots.
my only defense is that i am convinced this little guy looked like this at SOME point...maybe just before the big crash on the floor.
there...i feel better...honesty can be refreshing to the soul.
(i'm going to leave that crooked tail wheel there (which disappeared entirely at some point in this back and forth process) as a testament to honesty.)

Thomas KolbWhat a lovely little aircraft and a nicely built model... I like the rigging too, very neat! I do feel your pain as it crashed... good thing there are no signs of the mishap any more. But did the kit really come in that huge box on picture 1? :-o

Lochsa River АвторThank you folks....those new ICM boxes are little works of art in themselves
Rigging little 1/72 biplanes (this one isn't big...you noticed!) without eyelets was the learning goal...perfection was not achieved but the result showed real promise.
