Great work, Nigel! And thanks for the answer about the decal placement, you certainly seem to have mastered it!
Looking forward to the coming steps!

Very convincing colouring of fuselage linen! All in all, a great build.

Thanks for the encouragement guys, much appreciated  :)

Here's the latest progress. Top wing is on, rigging has started:





I have to say this was the easiest top wing attachment of any biplane I have built so far. Provided you get the cabane struts on the right way round, the engineering is perfect. The cabanes aligned with the fuselage attachment points perfectly and the interplanes just popped in place (they needed a bit of the length trimmed off at the top but this was easy to do).

I was hoping to finish this by Sunday for a show in the UK but this won't happen. At least I have another show the following weekend to aim for.....

"the easiest top wing attachment of any biplane", that could be a great selling point!

It really looks good and I saw the model for a good price somewhere recently... maybe my next purchase?!
