It has been a while since my last update. Not much modeling done prior to the Holidays as I am in Retail  :( I am finally back to work on the F1 and SE. Both have their gear mounted. Today I intend to get the Spandaus on to the F1 and the Vickers installed in the SE. I will post more photos later today... Hopefully!

Totally agree with the others - a wonderful pair of models. That streaking really is tops Rick - just wish I could do that.

I completely agree about the way you've done the streaking on the Fokker.  It's not an easy technique to get as right as you have.  You're going to have a very enviable trio!

Rick - your streaking on the Fokker is noteworthy. I hope you can post further views of it, from different angles. Great to see your update.

Thanks Juan, Ondra, Guy, Steve, My 2 Amigos, Stephen, Old Albie, and Gary. Your comments and interest are appreciated! Gary, One more before new photos showing the MGs in place on the F1. I worked on the SE and applied an oil wash similar to what Tug did on his build. Again hopefully photos will follow later.

Here are the promised Photos. Spandaus are on the F1 as well as the rudder cross and the odd patches on the forward fuselage.











The decals are being applied to the SE




Here is a heavily edited photo of the SE. For some reason I can,t get a good photo showing the "True" colors and the subtle weathering. >:(



and one more:

Truly gorgeous work, as usual, Amigo!  You've got a pair of real beauties there.
