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.

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).

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!!

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)

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.

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

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

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 👍

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

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.

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