Hello Dr. Dave:

You really did an outstanding job on this little gem.  I like the weathering on the underside.  The photo looks like the real thing on it's nose.  One question.  Did you forget to put the prop on the air speed indicator on the starboard cabane strut?

I like the paint as well. That reddish brown just looks right.

Best

  Dave,
She's one beautiful Tripe my old friend. Outstanding work on her weathering,very impressive indeed. I noticed the smearing on the lower wings that looks as if one of the ground grew had attempted a little wipedown but not finished. Excellent little details like that add much to the eye appeal. Well done!
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Nice work. The outdoor shots really bring the fine paint work out. The N/M looks amazing!

Looks like the real deal in the natural light DrDave!  The metal cowling looks . . . real. ;)  Great job!  I really like the French paint scheme. ;D

Regards,

Bob

Lovely at the top view, dirty (as it should be) from the bottom. All in all a nice piece of modelling! Congratulations.

Thanks chaps.
 I was very pleased with this one. I have learned some new tricks and will abandon others.
GoldZack mimics RAF wire well, but is too thick for Bob's buckles.
Tamiya flat brown mimics PC12 very nicely.
Alclad gloss varnish is never truly dry and leaves fingerprints. Its one reason the cowling looks real. The fingerprints have merged to make it look milled!
Take care f the Rotherham pump! I lost mine.

The wheels are accidental. They are clear dope, dirtied with smoke, then futured. I sponged some mud on, then added a mist of dust, This was too thick, so I used a Q tip in isopropyl thinners to rub some off. The end effect was very pleasing.

This is Polak's Meadow as a base.

Simply great, but the weathering of the bottom is outstanding!

Thanks mate.
I sprayed light coats of gunze oil and smoke over the dirtiest areas and copied Ray Rimmell using a post it note moved along the under fuselage as a mask to put muck where the formers are.
Then I dry sponged polyscale mud  on with a scrap of sponge
 Finally a tamiya small qtip soaked in cellulose thinners was used to focally  wipe bits away. I Also brushed on dollops of oil and streaked them in the airflow direction.
The effects are used less and less as you move away from the under engine.

Key point is study a photo and use focal point weathering rather than global effects.
