Just catching up. Your weathering, accidental or not, looks great. The whole project has come together nicely.

Your S.E.5a is looking great, Fredrik, and to my eye the fresher appearance of the red versus the somewhat weathered PC-10 seems appropriate. This is going to be a striking model among your RFC collection!

The happy accident is in the past now and no other accidents have occurred, so this is now finished. My first ever S.E.5a and in tribute to Dave. /Fredrik

There might be an angle that is doubled up below, but here she is.

She?s a beauty. Honestly, one of the best paint jobs I?ve seen, in any scale.

Now that looks lovely. Excellent finish all round, the masked markings look really effective and the weathering and detail finish is spot on. Dave would have loved this one I am sure.

Thanks for the praise! I'm mostly just happy that I managed to complete it.

I think that what Dave would have liked the most, and the thing I like the most as well, is the fact that Erik aka Vickers came to the rescue and simply gifted me the decals for this kit, which meant that I could add the 'Schweinhund' to the front of the plane. This forum is full of friendship and helpfulness and Des and Dave and all of the rest of us were/are a part of that. /Fredrik

Bravo Fredrik, excellent S.E.5, Dave is thrilled.
Perhaps your first but we hope not your last.

Lovely, lovely work, F. That's a cracking SE.
If that's your first, please build more!
I've always loved Cecil Lewis' chutzpah in getting back from imprisonment and painting his SE red with a German oath on the nose - what a guy. Have you seen him talking about his WWI experiences on the BBC Voices of History series? Great tribute to him as well.
