Really nice! I'd recommend a gloss coat on the propeller, to make it look more 
like a polished wood prop.

 I've been working on other projects and the Saladin has been neglected 
however I felt like some cardmodelling and have wanted to build one of 
Zio's models for a while.

It was only one small page...how hard could it be ?....

Well these models are seriously nice to build but they aren't easy. I 
finished the SE5a today and rather thought some rigging might be nice so 
that's what I did, it's stretched sprue, much easier to manage than 
monofilament or cotton and looks pretty good when all said and done. The 
rigging is only basic and nowhere near what is on the original. I did a 
quick calculation and I think the model is about 1/60. I cheated and put 
a plastic pilot in the seat...ya do what ya gotta do. A zippo lighter is 
shown for scale.

Sadly Zio is no longer with us but his models live on, nice models that 
look great when finished even if a bit of effort is required.
