  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.

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