| As you can see, these half-found thin plastic strips offer near-airfoil shapes as the real steel cable rigging. |

| Rigging. Evergreen makes half-round thin strips that will serve as steel rigging on almost all biplanes made after the First World War. They are 14 1/4" in length and different sizes. These were chosen for the S.E. 5. |

| Found out the real aircraft wingspan measures 26 feet 7 inches, but the kit's wingspan is 24." What's even a bit more "interesting" is the kit provides decals for the fuselage roundels that are slightly bigger than the scale drawing. I carefully placed the ruler such that you can easily see the difference in dimensions. Had to order custom decals from John Brantley. |

| Note the brochure says their S.E. 5 model is 1 1/12th scale.... |

| Guillow's idea of 1/12th scale and the provided drawings being used as reference drawn out as 1/12th scale are two different sizes....Hmmm |
