I did the overall weathering, but it does not show up in most of the pictures. However...

More details needed on the fuselage - guns, windscreen, some painting, etc.

This is so beautiful, can you do it again in 1/48 for my cabinet?
A joy to follow!

Cheers,
Frank

Possibly, but as the stockbroker says, past performance does not guarantee future results.

Absolutely Beautiful work Ken! The weathering does add to the overall appearance! Makes Me wish I had chosen the "Yellow" scheme over PC 10

Oh Ken, this is just fantastic. I love the subtle weathering, all those lovely changes of tone look perfect to me.

Wow, its been over a week already since the last update.
Thanks for stopping by, folks. I appreciate that you took the time to comment.

I've gotten a few more details on and prepping the struts.

A new gun sight.

Exhaust pipes are on. The tips came from the PARTs PE set.

The struts have a lot of detail on them. I only hope they can be attached to the wings solidly. There's not much of a pin on the ends and they have to go a long way down through the PE fittings.

Here I have stuck pieces of monofilament through the rigging holes while painting the blue fittings, so the paint won't block the holes.

It should be a biplane soon.

Thanks for the encouraging comments. I've started with some rigging before mounting the struts, to make things easier later.

Outstanding so far Ken , just really ties it all together wonderfully . Also like the tip about line in the holes to get the paint out .Will be using that in the future .
