Quite an intimidating collection of biplanes.  And by intimidating, I meant that in a good way.  The wing wires alone would have me in check.

...Wanted to build just the "military" Caprioni 100 but ended up building entire Choroszy Modelbud line, an "assembly line" operation given most kits were similar other than engines "limousine" kit unique with enclosed passenger cockpit. All Caproni 100 models needed scratch-built fuel line mounts & plumbing fabricated from sheet plastic & nylon fishing thread, all built under brutal heat conditions though not as bad compared with other 2018-2020 builds.

...Relatively easy build considering any biplane build is nightmarish especially when adding wing bracing cables, EZ Line and/or nylon thread never mind fabric. Seeing that fantastically rigged 1/72nd Revell Airco DH.2 model on display in a now long gone San Lorenzo, CA hobby store on Hesperian Boulevard in 2001 terrified me enough to try building biplanes again after 2006 at age 55, sadly never got around building my own Revell DH.2 model.

Cable-rigged biplanes & vacuforms decades thought impossible builds for me never mind resins; beefs had with modeling contests were clubs grouping all biplane build scales together (guess which scales usually win?!), no separate vacuform build categories, i.e. vacs seldom can compete with similar injected-molded subjects insofar as fine surface detailing never mind scale accuracy. Most judges I'd bet a gram palladium bar against never built a cable-rigged biplane never mind vacuformed anything especially multi-engined like I've done.

...Used nylon fishing line for SAIMAN 200 build, came out OK but switched to EZ Line stretch thread for later biplane builds. Whenever possible rigged thread before gluing on top wings, not possible with some models however. Only building technique never tried was aluminum foiling, closest was Rub 'n Buff'n a Heller Spit Mk.XViE in 1982, came out remarkably good but never metalized anything again "playing safe" with sprayed aluminum enamels then on.
