    Hi all,
    An update on this Scout build.
    I've not done any modelling for around 5 weeks.
    I was away in Cyprus for two weeks, then fighting off and chest infection for another two weeks.
    Finally I found the upper wing had somehow been 'attacked' by my daughters dog and is way beyond repair!
    So I'll remake the upper wing once a replacement kit arrives.

    Great that you had a two week holiday in Cyprus, my friend @sandbagger! Not so great having an infection afterwards - hope you have fully recovered. Also, nasty behaviour from your daughter's dog 😁. Looking forward to the continuation of your build once the replacement kit arrives.

    That's a message with several good and bad things combined, Mike @sandbagger
    Luckily the bad things are and can be solved and the good things remain as great memories.
    Looking forward to the arrival of the replacement kit.

    Hi all
    After the dog destroyed the original upper wing, I've now finished the replacement wing
    I've added the intermediate wing spar on both upper and lower wings, which I missed before
    Now sorting out the cabane and interplane struts before pre-rigging starts

    Now it's onto final rigging

    Hi all
    The Scout is now completed
    This model shows David Bremner's reproduction of Scout 1264, as it is now
    I chose not to apply any weathering and to show the aircraft 'clean'
    The main differences between David's Scout 1264 and a WW1 Scout are
    Cockpit layout and details
    Pitot static probes and associated pipework
    Separated upper wing centre section and outer wings

    As usual my website has a PDF build log (on Logs page 1), which covers the differences between this model and my previous build log for Scout 1260
    Where the build details are the same, this build log refers back to the other build log

    Thanks for your support and comments throughout this build

    Absolutely wonderful, Mike @sandbagger
    Everything on this build looks superb, especially the linen look.
