After I built the Christen Eagle II

I wanted to add the single seater to my collection. It´s almost the same kit, just the canopy and its frame is replaced by the short one. I wanted to show the biplane airborne with smoke.
For the cockpit I adapted a pilot figure from Preiser (1:87, matching very well) and to fit the display later I added a plastic block with two holes where the exhaust tubes are. For the smoke I fitted two bended wires between two sheets of Depron (foam material) and gave a smoke-structure to it. I sealed the surface with epoxy to make it hard and stable. Finally I sprayed silk white over it. Thomas Brückelt
