Nice work. Are you finding much touch up work with paint is required between sections of decal?

Hi Sandy,
The only decal problems were with the wing roundels.
The decals are intended to wrap over the upper and lower wings trailing edges at the ailerons
Similarly wrap over the leading edges of the ailerons.
However, like the decals for the WNW Camel, these decals cracked and chipped if I attempted to wrap them around edges.
Therefore, I cut the decal at the fold lines and applied them then brush painted the wing trailing and aileron leading edges to match.
Other than that, I had no problems,

Hi all,
The last work for the Sopwith Dolhin.
‘Kellerkind Miniaturen’ USAS pilot (54/090).
‘Kellerkind Miniaturen’ RFC Mechanic (54/073).
Tools from ‘Aber’ 1/35th scale hand tools (35 A68).
Painted with 'Tamiya' acrylics, 'Citadel' and 'Mr. Color enamels.

The model is complete, so I'll post up final photographs later today.
Once again thanks for your support and comments,

Mike

I have been absent for a while but have to say these are some of your best figures to date, IMHO!
