Really great work with those PE struts! Looks terrific sitting on the gear, minus wheels of course. Looking forward to the next update.

thanks!
not much done but good news is that painting had started
I have decided to put initial black base and then do some amendments to reach more or less no.356 outlook





then started to prepare the main wing






After the initial paint layer



then the hardest part how to resemble in scale those thin black stripes on the humb. Decals: No. as will not be possible to implement stripes of hair width. Paint: not possible to adjust the tape to leave the space just in the middle with repeatable, fixed width. Marker/pencil could be..

Can't offer any idea on the stripes, but the shading and colours look great!

On second thought, I did do the blue trailing edge rib tapes on my 1/72 Fokker DVII and Albatros DVa with mixed oil paints, as they allowed time to make repairs or tidy up incorrect areas. They're not nearly as prominent, though...

You can buy one sheet of decal paper then paint it black. Then ca glue 2 exacto blades together at the spine. Make a handle from wood dowel cut a notch for blades and tape in place with electrical tape. Then use a metal ruler and put the black decal paper on cardboard. The blades cutting surface will be .5mm apart or maybe a touch less. I used this method before.

However you do put on the black stripes I wish you luck. So far this is turning into a truly great model.

Wonderful work. I'd love to see the box art to sense the outcome.

For stripes - not sure what you are making with them - Woodland Scenics - railroad modelling stuff and easily available - do striped decal sheets down to 0.25 mm - in black, red, yellow and white. They are dry decals so you have to rub them on. I used them on my Weddell Williams racer and got all around the curves and along the straights by using wee bits of them at a time. A very long process and exasperating at times! but it worked. I could never do that with a pen or any other tool that I can think of. The black lines in 0.25 mm look perfect now once they are all sealed into the paintwork with a clear overspray. When I redo the Gee Bee R1...one day...I'll be using the 0.25 mm red stripes between yellow and black surfaces. Given the curves, it'll be a lot harder but it can be done!

Hope that helps.

Hi,
Xan: I will represent no. 356
Well, pls see on pic below that black stripes are really thin…

Woodland Scenics..will check it, in the meantime I tried to do it by soft pencil. Obviously softer pencil, blacker line we get. I am keen to leave it as it is. Once varnished they should stay firm
Have to decide then

here another pic who shows the black stripe in a Type N (same thing)



in my parasol, I used black tape



i cutted regular stripes with a plotter and fix them; in the plane it was wooden tripes , so with the tape stripe you can represent the relief...

It all looks great Krzysiek. You may also sharpen the lines using the pencil, just don`t use the felt tip pen - it may ruin your model  ;)
