Thanks Rick, Juan, and Bob, despite it's many flaws I'm pleased with the overall results. The scheme is a real eye catcher,many thanks to Rowan at Pheon for that!
Cheers,
Lance

Terri,
  It got my attention as soon as Rowan released the sheet. I couldn't resist it! I wanted to do a wood finished Albie and this one was perfect!
Cheers,
Lance

    Well, here we are 3 weeks later and I guess I should declare this one completed. Since my last post the touch-ups were completed and this project traveled to the Western Canadian Regional Model Contest held in Nanton, Alberta at Canada's WWII Bomber Command Museum and Memorial. I was honored when it achieved the Gold Medal in the WW.I Aircraft Category.



   I'm pleased with how this one turned out and for the opportunity to dedicate this Build to the memory of Des Delatorre, and now his beloved wife Adrienne. They both brought much to scale aircraft modeling and particularly to the wholesome and welcoming atmosphere of this Forum.
   I'll post some photos in Completed Models shortly.
Cheers,
Lance
