  I set the cabane struts first as it is a challenging with the engine exhaust to set these. All else was uneventful. The kit has some faults but overall I enjoyed building it.

 After painting the fuselage wood and the wings clear doped linen, I used some spongy foam rubber material and dabbed it in MisterKit AH04 Phonix medium brown.  I like the Austro -Hungarian  camouflage patterns because it is easy to hide your mistakes.

Really nice job!

Were the kit decals okay?

  In response the decals were ok this time.  Always pays to have a back up set.
