 Another S.III? I'm sure it will be the perfect partner for the last one you built. I must get on to my 1:72 one, and its older brother!

Hi Ian , yup another one  :) This is the one I won in the GB and couldn't wait to start it . I do have another in the stash  ;)


Being enjoying my time in front of bench . Nice to be able to kick back and relax . Firewall is ready for paint . The bolts are from Grant line of products . Ammo bin was back off with plastic card 0.10 and the gun cables added . Cockpit floor got some details as well . The front former was removed and replaced with plastic strips 0.30 x 0.30 . Runners on the floor are 0.10 x 0.30

Thanks Rick  :) With morning coffee I started doing some black basing in prep of the metal coat . Rear former got sprayed Tamiya deck tan for the linen , still have the wooden frame work to paint . And I decided to back the PE parts for the cockpit framing with .10thou card . The PE parts are just to thin for this and won't look right . I super glue them down to scrap card and started drilling holes inside the frames . Once the centers are cleaned out then I will cut around them freeing them from their tomb .

Nothing like caffeine to get things going!

Looks like great work! I realised, when looking at your choice of scheme, that one reason for my trip into WWI land was because of all the fun painting options... /Fredrik

Moving along nicely Terri! I have used that method on PE before. Works great.

Caffeine is always a plus Ken  ;) Cheers !

Thanks FAf  :) Yes there is a wide range of liveiers on WW 1 aircraft and I'm always finding new ones .


Side frames is now all cleaned up and ready and I made a start on the seat . The cushion which isn't so great is made using .20 thou card layer and I just started hacking way until the use of a power tool came out (dremel ) followed by a drill bit and buttons . Also added the piping around the cushion as well .

Progress has gone very well today to the point ...more paint has been laid down . Painting of the cockpit parts are now under way and the base coat to start the wood effect .
