Thanks all!

I finally got a lick of paint onto the kit - the engine is now painted. RAAF machines didn't sport varnished wooden propellers - photos show universally that RAAF machines had painted props. The exact colour isn't known, but it could have been black, brown, or green. I went with the latter.





Cheers,

Thanks everyone! 

Been playing around with alclads and the doped fabric effect. Right now things are a bit reflective (namely the rib tapes), but I quite like the way that the light reflects and changes based on the angle - at some angles the rib tapes disapear, at others they stand out... which makes it really really hard to photograph.... Not sure if i'll hit it with a clear flat to knock down the reflectivity.






Roundels were sprayed because the Red Roo decals have the red section incorrectly proportioned (arg).

Anyways, I welcome thoughts. After this, i'll tackle the metal panels. 

Cheers,

BC
