Painting and decalling of the Roland's wings are nearing completion. Tail planes have been attached but the elevators will wait until later so they don't get knocked off while handling.
I now need to wait a couple days for the scumble streaking on the outer upper wing to dry before gloss coating and applying the decals.  The underside wing needs its scumble on the topside as well.  I'll probably do it tomorrow after the satin clear coat has had a day to dry.  I've learned the hard way not to rush these things. :)

You are making me hungry with the talk of "RIBS".  All kidding aside, just beautiful.   ;D

Your pre-shading with the pencil looks good.  I am using the same technique on my Hanriot, only using a harder HB lead and feathering the edges a little more.
