Well done!
The painted markings look fabulous, especially the more complex roundels.

Cheers

Your masks made things very easy.  Thanks again! / Ian

Lovely paint work, very nicely done! I've also taken to painting markings on as much as possible; it just gives such a wonderful consistency to a model.

Looking forward to seeing this one done!

Cheers,

BC

Thank you and I agree.  It also makes handling the model a lot easier as well.  Cheers / Ian

Nigel and Lance, thanks again for your encouragement.  I've tried a number of different approaches for the CDL and PC10 'look' but it was Richard Camion's write up of his SE5 build in the Air Modeller's Guide to WnW Vol 1 which I used here for the first time and I'm very happy with the result.

Not sure if I'd show any photos of my modelling from 50+ years ago.  It was all Airfix 1:72, just building the model was the exciting part and having little to no money, the painting was whatever I could get at the time.  But it was fun. Cheers / Ian

Terrific paintwork Ian. I particularly like the PC-10 upper colors.

Thanks Tim. 

I've been pulled off in other directions for a couple of weeks but finally got back to finish it off.  The remaining rigging was straight forward, just needed patience.  Overall, fairly happy with the result.  Not as much fun as building my NINAK but an enjoyable build none the less.

I'll try to post some pictures but the restriction of max 128kb for an individual picture makes the shots of the full plane pretty hard to do.  I don't know how everyone else manages to get their photos so compact for such high res shots.

I'll post some more in the Completed section.

Thank you again to Bob from Bobs_Buckles, FAf and RAGIII and pretty much the lot of you who's build posts I've scoured trying to learn your amazing techniques.  I hope Arthur would be happy with my effort.

My next build will be the WnW Gotha G.1, so wish me luck!
