You're rocking it, Rick!

Good job Rick, just enough and nicely done too.

Very deft hand with the weathering Rick. So easy to go 1:1 weathering on a 1:32 model and you danced right around that pitfall with style.

RAGIII,
The strut conundrum will be interesting to watch and a learning experience for all.

Hopefully it won't be a lesson in What Not To DO  I have finished the weathering and sprayed all of the fabric areas with a satin coat. A few small details to add then the strut experience begins

Very colorful and weathered birds. I really like the whole trio.
No, I'm not starting my SPAD now - I have enough running projects!

Cheers,

So here is the latest. Weathering is pretty much finished. I have added the cabanes on all three and those pesky H struts on the Guynemer SPAD.

PS: After looking at photos and restorations like the Memorial Flight I decided the Cabanes were "Most Likely" not a wood finish but rather painted to match the camo. If anyone has definitive proof otherwise let Me know now

RAGIII,
You continue to impress with these Spads.

Very nice and convincing weathering, I like subtlety you put on these: used but not dirty, living flying machines.

Rick,
    Three sweet looking birds. 

[RichieW]

Love the weathering Rick, very convincingly done. These 3 are going to look awesome on display together.

[Alexis]

Excellent weathering on the trio Rick 


Terri

[kensar]

All three are just awesome looking, Rick.  Seeing them all finished together will be something!
