Valom N.17 - Nungesser

This is my first experience with a Valom kit or any 144 scale model. The photos obviously don't appear in order, but each one has brief activity description as record of the build. the photo etch Lewis gun is very fiddly and does not attach as shown in the instructions, so beware :<)

I decided to add rigging. The wings are first, next the landing gear and finally (after getting a new tiny pin drill bit) the stabilizer control cable. I had to do this now before may hands get too shaky :<)
