Hi Zac! Thanks for looking in! That Revell 1/28 kit is still a goodie after all these years - well worth build. Consider a Clerget engine for Jacob's machine - but in the spare machine, who knows really?
Hi Rick, thank you for the kind comments! I base the black leather on an Allied report of a crashed machine - but fabric has been documented too! As a famous ace with a well used machine or two, I'm sure Jacob's mechanics worked some extras into his planes! Without real airframes or better evidence, I'm happy to take a guess or two...
Hi Stephen, yes your comments are spot on! I will try to add as much detail as is practical, but there's not much in the way of after-market or extras in this scale yet! Mostly I'll have to do with the kit parts...
Well, I did get round to finishing off the cowling, adding the wire retainer around the rear trailing edge, smoothing things down and undercoating in Tamiya Enamel Titanium Silver - such an interesting colour! This will work well, I think, if I need to do chipping etc...
Regards,
Marc
