    One of my favorite biplanes. I have the older Inpact Hawker Fury kit on my list of to do items someday. This is looking excellent Allan (@kalamazoo).

    Top wing looks great, Allan @kalamazoo
    I would be terrified to apply those rubber bands, usually the entire structure would collapse when I try to do that.

    It improves strength indeed, but even with brass struts I would have been terrified, Allan @kalamazoo
