A great approach on painting subtle color differences. i‘ll have to steal that and try it out.

More useful tips to glean from this great online community. The subtle variations of tone do show on the photos. I like the results so much I will be stealing this method too.

Sharing is caring! Steal away!!

You can't go wrong when you overly thin the paint. It gives you total (and tonal) control.
Just make sure that when you use heavily thinned paint you drop your PSI down to around 10 or 12 psi.

Enjoy!

CDL on underside complete. PC10 overlap later down the road.
Fuselage section is PC10 on this little puppy, so that's why it's been left out.

Stay safe my cave dwellers  ;)

I love how you've highlighted the structure and rib tapes Bob. That really is rather splendid!

Thanks for the comments .

Look what I found in one of the packing boxes from my old home. They have been in storage for 8 long years. Now back on display  ;)

Cheers,
Bob

Lovely work all around no doubt. The Pup was such an elegant plane - almost like no line was out of place. In WWII designers had a saying "if it looks good, it flies good." Sounds like the Pup for its moment. No wonder Richthoven was impressed.

I too have to admire the rib tape effect on the underside of the wings - they look very convincing.

Great work all around, Bob. Fine interior, lovely surface finish. Fingers crossed for your spare time to be enough for you to complete this build.

As always, thanks for the supportive comments.  ;)

Prze, time has been a factor on this project, but I just take it one step at a time and just try to enjoy myself. It's working!  8)

Anyway, top coat has been applied to the puppy. Clear coated with Johnson's Klear thinned with distilled water.

Cheers,
Bob  :)
