The camouflage and weathering on the wings look good, Rick.
It's usually good to be forced to stop working on a model for a short while so you can take a step back and have a look at what you are doing. I get too rushed many times and forget to include something - a seat cushion for my Hanriot, for example.

Thanks Ken. Yes sitting back gave me the inspiration to make the small correction on the elevator control exit so it was profitable!

Thanks T! With a little luck I should have the map box installed by tonight. Then I will finish weathering and touch ups.

Looking at those close-up shots made me think that I was looking at a real aeroplane! This really is top notch modelling Rick - absolutely brilliant.

This looking really impressive Rick! Beautiful airbrushing. Good on you for fixing the decal location - that takes a deep breathe to do.

Cheers

Today I did some Moderate Weathering with Oils and Pastels. I also applied a satin finish to the forward fuselage and semi gloss/mixed with flat finish to the fabric areas. I have added the rigging to the center wing cutout/framework. Next up is adding the clear panels then turning it into a Sesquiplane  8)
