We're almost finished with this one.  Rigging is all done, but I may paint the lines to make them stand out more.  I'll give the surfaces a careful clean with a q-tip moistened with thinner and re-apply the mattcote where necessary.  I had thought of doing some mud splatters on the lower part of the fin & rudder,and under the wings, but will probably leave that for another model.

Pics to follow later.

Here we go, all done as far as I want to be.  I could do a few repairs here and there, patch up paint and rework the surface finish but I have to draw the line somewhere - I get to the point where more tweaking spoils the model.

I'll do some better pics in daylight soon and do a completed model thread.

Thanks everyone

This was a straightforward build.  To be honest, and perhaps a bit over critical, I know I could do a better job but I just wanted to finish as my stash is continually growing.  The camera angle and lighting does hide the imperfections

I did a bit of experimentation on this one, with toning down the lozenge, black paint representation etc.  Everything is OOB apart from spark plugs, plug wires, and the rigging lines.

I highly recommend this kit to modellers new to WNW and this scale, as well as to the more experienced here.  I am happy I can produce a relatively decent job but the kit would allow those of you with better craft skills to produce outstanding work.

Mirage Halberstadt CL.II in 1:48 next, intertwined with finishing the Revell VW Samba Bus that has been on and off for about 18 months!

Hello, Ian -

I've got to be honest and say that this aircraft was not the most elegant of aircraft (in my opinion of course) but you have done it justice and made it look truly excellent.

Regards
