A couple of pictures is okay, but if you're going to keep it up I would really appreciate it if you started your own thread.

Upper wing mounted. This one was a bit different. Since the cabanes slope at odd angles I had to do the struts first, then make sure the wings were properly aligned, then build the cabanes, one piece of brass wire at a time.

All that's left now is the guns, some touch-up paint and the rigging.

Great stuff! Rather a large spinner over the prop hub for aerodynamics; was that unique to this plane only?

No, but only just. There was at least one Bristol Scout with a big spinner. The drawback was severely reduced cooling airflow over the engine. On the other hand it must not have been too bad because there is no evidence that they ever removed them.
