Wow - how did you get such a nice curve on the cowl? Did you have to steam the balsa?

Nice work! I'm looking forward to this   :D

It seems that its 410mm span makes this a 1/23rd scale Fokker-E. I've never heard of anything in that scale before but, hey,  close enough to sit beside a 1/24th Merit Dr.1 or the old Revell 1/28th kit  :smiley:

The pilot appears to be slightly under-fed. ::) ;)

The rigging looks great!

I especially like it posed on the ship like that. Sort of like a W.W. I German version of the early Sea Hurricanes.
