Yes it's a strange anomaly and only with Chrome users it seems. Others have reported the same problems recently on other forums I post on? Again, if I open the Edge browser, search for and open Google and then search for a forum and go to the posts, the photo's show. They just can't be seen using the Chrome browser? Hi all, The windscreen has been fitted using the kit supplied photo-etch frame and template cut out acetate transparency. The upper wing has also been fitted. I had the usual tricky problem of locating all of the struts and at the same time making sure the wings are correctly positioned and aligned. So now it's onto final rigging for the wings, Mike

Hi all, I think I know what the problem is. Browsers, such as Google Chrome, are migrating to more secure browsing. Traditionally, images or web sites linked with a URL address with http:// are being superseded with https://.This entails someone like me having to purchased and install an SSL certificate for my hosting server, so my web sites and images will show using the various web browsers. I've started the process of SSL certification and once that's sorted I'll probably need to arrange re-direction of images previously linked to the http:// URL. Hopefully then me and others won't have the problem of my posted photo's not showing. We'll see, Mike

Hi all, The rigging for the wings has been done, apart from weathering and sealing. Rigging line is 0.12 mm diameter mono-filament with 0.5 mm diameter tubing. The crossed bracing wires from the top of the front cabane struts to the top of the fuselage are not shown correctly in the kit instructions. In reality, the two lines crossed through an 'acorn', similar to that for the Sopwith Camel. The acorn was made from plastic rod and drilled through with a 0.3 mm diameter hole. Next is to fit and rig the main floats and after that, fit and rig the ailerons, Mike

Hi all, I've now completed the bracing wires for the main floats. Now I'm finishing off the ailerons and their control cables. The cable pulleys for the upper wing are resin and I don't think are strong enough to take the tension on the rigging line. Therefore I disregarded them and instead made pulleys from 0.2 mm thick plastic card and 0.8 mm brass rod. Once the ailerons are sorted I only have a few items to do, such as the pitot tubes, pilots step, float keel etc. Also I'm waiting for the display case and propeller to be delivered, so I can complete this model. This will be the last update for this model. I'll post photographs of the complete build once it's done. Thanks for everyone's comments and support during this build - much appreciated, Mike

Hi, Yes you nailed it. Between the top and bottom discs is a smaller disc - all cemented 0.2 mm thick plastic card. Drilled through the centre - 0.8 mm diameter. Brass tube added using CA adhesive. The aileron control line fitted around the pulleys is 0.08 mm diameter mono-filament (fishing line), Mike
