Default RE: 1/3 Scale Nieuport 11

Got a little more done today. I managed to rough out the stab and elevators. Still have some clean up to do and more pieces to add but so far not to bad. I used a product called alumiweld to join the pieces of the stab and elevators. Still not sure if I like it or not, first the rod is really to heavy for work this size and with this thin wall tubing you have to get the heat just right, to cold and the rod won't melt/adhere to hot and you'll melt the tubing. My wife painted the bracing wires and faux turnbuckles for me, came out really good I think.
