Lovely decal work, excellent results. I always used to struggle getting rib tapes parallel in 1/72, you have done a great job!

I'm so glad to hear that, Prze! I wonder if yours is the sacrifice the Modelling Gods took so that we may have the new kit?  ;D I hope you build the new one too: I'd be fascinated to read your thoughts on it compared to your efforts here.

 ;D ;D ;D  I would not have thought about it.  ;D

The regular stripes are on place. Now the work is on the edge ones.

Hi Prze - looking great - did the ailerons have the rib tapes as you've depicted?

Cheers!

Hard to be certain, the photo (in the first post) does not make it clear. So I assumed that they had. Contrary to this, the elevator and rudder seem not to have had them.

No problems - as I understand it, the tapes may not have extended to the ailerons. Here's a picture of an OAW built machine as a reference, showing no tapes on the ailerons:



Up to you of course, but thought I would mention it just in case :)

Thank you, Brad. This photo is indeed evident. Anyway, it is now too late to change my model, I will have to live with the taped ailerons :)

More lovely work, you've done a great job with the decals. This will be superb when done.

Brad is correct, and this is also the case afaik for all aircraft with lozenge covered wings. But don't worry, only detail nerds will notice  ;) It won't detract from a superb model.
