De Havilland 1910 Biplane #1 (Entex 1/72 scale)

Finally completed after a little bit of a struggle.
 The step-by-step building process is in this post:

Many things did not work properly with this kit and had to be replaced by scratchbuilt items or enhanced somehow.
I am generally inclined to encourage the building of all kits, whatever their age or level of detail or engineering, but in this case I would say that if you got one just keep it in the box, as a collectors' item and an example as how kit manufacturers dealt with certain issues 50 years ago. If you build it, be prepared for some frustration.
I like challenges (heck, I am a scratchbuilder) but this is not about level of difficulty, it is about poor design and engineering, even for 50 years ago. A clear instruction sheet, to start with, was well within the technical scope of that time.
Anyway, as said, it will be a nice part of a collection of early days of aviation, especially after the extra work.
