Sopwith Triplane 1/48, Upd 16.8.2020 Finale and a riddle again!

[Bughunter]

Thank you Terri, Rick, Richie, Bob, Paul and Gaz!

Hmm, a day later I would say the last airbrush stroke was to much on lower surface
As often it looks more transparent if the paint is wet so it is easy to apply to much so this nice structure in the dark area is mostly covered.
But it is still ok and I let it as it is.

Cheers,
Frank

Just My opinion but I think you have things just right. More contrast in scale May have been too much.

That is the first shade of PC12 that I have seen that I can say I really like. The shading is just extra eye candy. What, no zert fitting or oil cup to lube that engine bearing ;-)

That hurts , sorry to hear Frank , but I know you will turn it around like it never happened . Nice fix on the cowl to get the engine seated correctly so she can spin . That is one verrrry thin cowl , excellent work on thinner it out . Looking forward to your next update .

I am sure you will repair these little failures with paint, Frank. I can assure you, it happens to us all, only that not everybody is ready to admit it (now you know ).
And all around - the spectacular work, as usual from your bench.

Good work all around, Frank.  That primer failure creates a great heavily weathered effect.  Too bad its not appropriate for this model.

Sorry you've been having troubles in life and at the bench Frank. I love what you've done with the tail fin and the cowling. A free spinning rotary engine will be totally cool! The primer problem and little masking troubles are nothing your great skills can't fix. It's good to see you back!

[Bughunter]

Thank you mates!

That is PC12 straight from the MRP bottle

That is a feature of most of my models, the rotary engines turn with the airscrew, or the airscrew alone in case of in-line engines.
It makes packing the models for exhibitions and handling of the model more safe.

I am sure you will repair these little failures with paint, Frank.

That is my hope too!

That primer failure creates a great heavily weathered effect.

I was able to remove the primer completely, so I will start from fresh here.

Cheers,

Outstanding work on the engine and cowling attachment! All is looking great. The minor glitches in the roundel and tail were a small setback but it seems you have things under control!

Glad to hear that you have things worked out and more excellent progress , beautiful work on the undercarriage legs . Looking forward to the rest of decals being applied

As all of your models, it wasn't for the Euro cent this also looks as a much bigger scale plane. I like colour shades and both engine bearing and landing gear are real clockmaker work. Very well done.

Wonderful to see a craftsman at work.!

I could never emulate this standard of modelling but I’m happy picking up some hints and tips along the way..
