It's looking great!
Out of curiosity, do you apply the decals, eg roundels, under or on top of the linen decal? It looks like roundels on top of linen decal, but the Belgian colours on the rudder looks like paint with linen decal on top of it.

The roundels and rudder markings are applied over the linen decals.
I think the rudders may look more like linen as they are weathered more than the wing roundels,

Thanks Mike! Planning my first use of linen decals.

This is shaping up to be one of your best IMO in terns of finish. You have really nailed the approach to CDL and it's worked superbly on this one.

Hi all,
I've spent four days pre-rigging and creating rigging holes for the Caudron.
Here's a few shots, but most are rigging locating holes in the wings and tail unit.
Combination of 0.4 and 0.5 mm diameter tube and 0.08 and 0.12 mm diameter mono-filament.
Turnbuckles are a mix of Gaspatch 1:48th scale metal and Proper plane 1:32nd scale resin.

After assembly I'll final rig the rest of the wires and cables,

Mike
