Christoph Schnarr
A really extraordinary model very well implemented. Bravo 👍👍👍

Urban Gardini
She's a show stopper!

James C
You've done it again mate, another gorgeous looking WW1 build 👍

gorby
WOW! You don't see many of those every day. I've never seen it before in fact. Incredible work Frank, that engine is a glorious model in itself!
Now, I'm off to Google to read up about this cutie.

Sy Bar
Great work but how did you get your turned aluminium too look spot on? ?

BAT21
Amazing as always 👍

Thank you very much mates!
@gorbygould I have also not seen this one built before. I don't know if you find that article already, but I added a link to the best known article about this aircraft to _this_ album.
@Sy Bar With a rubber stick, see pic 45 of the build log (attached to project).

Erik Off
Phantastische Arbeit und das in so kurzer Zeit. 👍

gorby
Thanks Frank. 👍

Daniel Klink
Crazy design and really odd, but you made a real stunning piece of it Frank!!!
The engine 👍👍👍

Congratulations on another great build.

Bernhard Schrock
Alleine wegen der Vielzahl der Verspannungskabel und Tragflächen (alles parallel und rechtwinklig bzw. nicht verzogen) hast du einen Orden verdient! Zumal das auch noch Resin ist!!

Alec K
Inspiring modeling as always. I just bagged the following book while attending my first post-COVID 19 model show: a great overview of triplanes and multiplanes throughout the ages. Book: Triplanes (by Peter M. Bowers, Ernest R. McDowell)

Spanjaard
Top notch. Wow

Naram

Neuling

Thank you mates for stopping by and commenting! And all the likes.
@Bernhard Da hilft mir meine Holzstreben-mit-Messing-Pins Methode, da kann man eine Fläche durchaus kräftig in die richtige Position biegen 😉
@Alec I don't know if I should by this book, because I own already "The Fighting Triplanes" by Hadingham. It is a old book, but the planes inside are much older. The Quadruplane is not in.

Urban Gardini
On the other hand, why should the Quadruplane be present in a book about triplanes...! 😉

bughunter Автор
A stifling argument 😉 I mentioned it, because the book Alec shown is called "Triplanes" and has multiplanes in 😎

Alec K
The answer to the riddle is in the book's subtitle 😉. It does contain the Wight quadruplane and pretty much anything that had 3+ wings in any configuration. The book is essentially a summary so don't expect details and drawings (although there are a few). I paid $10 and just saw it on Amazon for around $3. It's from 1993 so it's dated but, again, a nice overview for those interested in the topic 👍

Tom Ballhoff
Well done mate! ?

Lenny Hoffmann
Wow, very nice!

Thank you Tom and Lenny!
Not my masterpiece, but nice result for my first complete resin kit. Now it is no more complete resin 😉

Marcel Klemmer
Well done. A very interesting part of aircraft history.

Bruce Huxtable
Superb ? Respect ?

bughunter Автор
Thank you Marcel and Bruce! History yes, but a blind alley.

Rui S
Excellent job 👍

Thx Rui! In case you have not seen it you should visit the build thread (attached to the Project).
This will not be my last SPIN kit as it is a good base.

Guy Rump
Beautiful and very unusual aircraft 👍

bughunter Автор
Thank you Guy!
Stay tuned for a posting on Tuesday, which is somehow related to this project!

Urban Gardini
Ooooooh....

This is the exclamation of pain of an aerodynamicist I suppose 😉

Urban Gardini
HAHAHA

Clifford Keesler
Agree, very nice. Surly an unusual aircraft.
