Thank you Not so how flickr works, but on Image Shack I just copy and paste the direct link and the picture pops right up in my post. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greenghost Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Using this home made very simple gauges to align the struts, once they are dried will align everything. In this case the struts have to be positioned 14 degrees forward. https://www.flickr.com/gp/146316516@N05/e42447 https://www.flickr.com/gp/146316516@N05/jt8K85 https://www.flickr.com/gp/146316516@N05/ENP483 Edited October 30, 2017 by Greenghost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Greenhost, Looking forward to some pics of your homemade alignment jig in action. It would be a lot easier following your multi pic posts if you could post the pictures directly, not just the links. I'm pretty sure flickr has that option. Thanks, Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greenghost Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 For my life that I have tried but just can’t make the pictures to show up. If somebody can give dummy instructions on how to make it work, will be highly appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Does this explanation help? Note, I don't use Flickr, so I just Googled for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greenghost Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) Thank you...unfortunately not. I will continue posting links until figure out how to post the pictures correctly, hopefully you will take the time to click in. This is is how the jig supposed to work.

Man, I'm good 🤣🤣🤣 All I had to do is to change the status from private to public... Edited October 29, 2017 by Greenghost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Greenghost, That home made jig works great! And your pics show up just fine, so you don't have to include the links anymore. Just an outstanding build. Loving it. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greenghost Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 And this is the result...not bad I think...next weekend I will install the forward struts and then the upper wing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greenghost Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 The struts are done. They are not perfect but I'm happy with the result, next week the upper wing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hopefully close is good enough. Way better then I could ever do. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Jigs and Legos are simple and useful ideas. Brisfit is my favorite WW1 airplane. Rigging 1/72 scale is a challenge, here's success to you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpitfireGuy Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Looking great. Built this kit years and years ago. Considering it’s age it’s pretty nice. Zach Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greenghost Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) This is the result... I think overall that jigs worked well. Not perfect but alignment was much more easy. Riggin in not complete yet. Edited November 23, 2017 by Greenghost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
