    Fantastic job on those builds! The SE5a is great. A guitar E string? I guess I'll stop throwing out my used strings and keep them by my workbench with everything else my wife has tried to throw away.

    What's next?

    Thanks very Much Carl_Brisgamer, I think that one gave me the most trouble, a lot of decals!

    Right Lou.
    A very crisp paint job. The streamers, rigging and scarf add a little jes ne se quois to the models.
    The only real adverse criticism is the thickness of the rigging which seems to overpower the lines of the aircraft a little.
    Nevertheless, it is a fine series of planes especially for a first effort.
    I would be pleased to have them flying on my table any day of the week.

    Thanks F O Kyte, I agree on the SE5a, the other is guitar string, I kinda like. I haven't priced that stuff, I bet in 25-30 yrs. I'll soon know. Too bad my planes couldn't meet your planes. Back.
    Thanks again,

    Grey knight, Again, Thanks. I do also agree that the wire on the SE5a is too thick. Another experiment, I think the guitar string looks a lot better. But I ran out, need to buy some more.
