Roland SachsenhoferThese pictures open the construction of the Wedell Williams Racer. A rather simple model, but efficient, accurate and a well researched reproduction of this elegant racing machine. In respect of simplicity, it is maybe a good match for the origina.! The pictures give it away: the moulding is rather on the rough side and there are not many details in the cockpit - but it is probably close to the original here too!
I've added a few braces to the cockpit frame and belts. The accuracy of fit is, as I said, excellent, once again, I'm very impressed with the Williams Brothers.

Derek BuckmasterOne of these sitting in my stash... watching on in great interest, looks like a good start! Williams Brothers were ahead of their time... remember that's a 1979 tool!!

Roland SachsenhoferGorby, Alex, Derek, Robert: thank you very much for your encouragement and interest! You are right, a wonderful aeroplane and a really good kit: I would really like to see more in this category in this quality and in large scale - the racing machines are rather small!
In the meantime the cockpit canopy and the already reworked undercarriage legs are on the plane, I still have to sand the fuselage and the engine cowling, then I'll continue with the colour!

Lex JassiesI do like these Interbellum racers with there sleek lines and big engines. Good luck with building this beauty 👍

Roland SachsenhoferThank you very much, Lex! Sanding the fuselage, the wheel covers and the cowling takes time, but the finishing line is in sight....
