Well done Dave! I think the new Eduard Lozenge decals colours look quite good..though applying rib tapes is a pain in the ***,I agree ..
I prefer using an ink pen.
cheers

Ladies and gents -

Thank you all very kindly.   

Regarding the kit lozenge decal colour - I forgot to mention I did add some leather brown (very slight) to the clear colour to seal the decals in with and to take out the brightness a bit.

Regards

Dave

Super model Dave - and in the Correct Scale too. Too many pictures? You cannot have too many pictures of a model of that quality. Looking forward to seeing the real thing soon.

Repeating Alexis's words I too would love to make one with that scheme. Well done, it's a stunner, and in 1/72!!!.

Amazing work, Dave. Love that scheme, too. I can only imagine the work that went int those rib tapes, but it was all worth it - that’s a gorgeous little model.
Cheers,
Gary

Very nice indeed. I liked the way that the lozenge effect turned out on the wings. Good Job!

Really nice build! My favourite plane, I've built 7 and got another waiting - I like this colour scheme  - might try it it myself.

Beautiful Dave!  I see a lot of areas in your work where I can improve in mine.  The two that stand out are your prop and your very light weathering.  I seem to be quite heavy handed in both.  Thank you for sharing your Albie.
