Good progress. This is coming along nicely.

Great job on the swirl decals, especially since you were not really looking forward applying them.

Made a little more progress.  Starting to look like a plane!  The sworl camouflage is really effective - it?s really difficult to make out any details on the wings or fuselage at all!  They are still there, you can only see them now with strong side lighting!

[Dirigible-Al]

That looks brilliant Will.

A very striking scheme and well done for getting all those decals on, it can't have been easy.....

[RAGIII]

Excellent work all around! Those swirl decals are indeed effective!!

Got the top wing on.  Replaced the kit cabanes with scratch built versions because the kit ones are too short.  Also replaced the v struts with scratch built plastic instead of the white metal ones because I?ve found that white metal bends too easily!  Used the kit undercarriage though.  Scratchbuilt exhausts from some spare bombs!  Added a windscreen and some radiator pipes.

Looking good......and very psychedelic!

[RAGIII]

Outstanding! Your strut replacement looks like it worked perfectly!

It might look like the strut replacement worked perfectly but what you can?t see is the trimming, gentle bending and dry fitting that went on before for about an hour!

On an internet modelling forum, no-one can hear you scream.........
