Thanks Paul! I've been looking for a flexible ruler with some thought to doing that.

Hi Warren. Mine is a just a cheap steel rule I picked up from one of the trade stands. Cost me the Princely sum of 75p (so I bought a couple) I don't think it was being sold as a 'flexible rule, just that the steel is so thin it works that way

I want to find something that will serve as a good straight edge, but be flexible enough, etc. to not take off paint.

Bye bye lovely instrument panel. Schrodinger is waiting to take it away from  you......

LOL
Hopefully the carpet monster won't get it first . . . .but then who would know?

We won't ask and you won't tell.

I haven't been as busy as I'd like with this one as I'd like, but here are a couple of quick progress shots to show you the fuselage is all stitched up and apart from a bit of touching up we're ready for adding some flying surfaces. 

[DaddyO]

And I even remembered to add some paint to all those bits and pieces I made for the insides.

Nice work on this oldie. I like your work on the interior.
May I ask - how did you do the stitching on the fuselage?

I used some old Archer rivet decals which I have (sadly no longer available and I'm running out of the ones I have; might just have enough for a couple more models) They do tend to break up into pieces which makes application a bit of a pain and I add a coat of varnish as soon as they are dry. Look good once the paint is added (here's my earlier DH5 under construction so you can see how they look under a coat of paint)

[PrzemoL]

Thanks, pity they are not available anymore. The effect on that DH.5 is just great.

This Archer lacing is was really nice. A swiss modeller prints his own decals and they look pretty convincing IMHO.

The coaming is that sticky blue and yellow filler that stays flexible after curing?
Was great for vacform props.

That's looking really nice Paul, really looking forward to seeing more.

Hi Joachim. Yes the combing is Duro putty - still a little bit oversize, but better than the last one I made and has the advantage of filling the tiny gap between the edges of the shaved down cockpit that was apparent

Cheers Nigel.
There always seems to be a lot of 'non' progress up to this point then the model comes quickly together and looks 'finished' before another period of little fiddly bits before the end; still I'm getting used to the rhythm of building them now.  (I did knock up a couple of new bases for the recent Spad and Pfalz so they are happily waiting their next outing)

Beautiful work!  I love it.

I can also happily tell you that Archer Fine Transfers are open under new management!
