Looks great from where I'm looking.

Post by: lone modeller on September 28, 2015, 06:22:37 AM: I wholly agree with Dave (Epeeman) - I cannot see anything to fault. The oil stains under the wings look completely realistic as does the mud on the wheels.

Post by: drdave on September 28, 2015, 07:21:44 AM: Thanks fellas. The build was good but I'm fed up with alclad Matt varnish never properly drying. Tacky.....
Next time I'll rig it after future and try a different final coat, as the alclad is sticky after 3 weeks.

I quite like the RAL Schokeladenbrun as a PC12. It's just a bit of a dull scheme for my tastes, after the Alby and Pup trainer....

Hence the next one is the lobster!

Post by: dr 1 ace on September 29, 2015, 04:27:22 AM: Very Nice, Ditto on Rick's comments on the oil staining. A few years ago while at OTF in Monterey, we saw a real Camel in flight and what it looked like immediately after landing.

Now that's one sad site my old friend. Never liked seeing an aircraft of any type down,but a Sopwith Tripe that's just awful. I hope her pilot is in good shape.
Highest Regards,
