You're making fast work on this Tim, and it's really looking good!  Cool that you have the paraphernalia to build the .300 series as I think it's much more interesting than the .100 series.  Your solution to the decal issue looks like it turned out well, feels good when you can make a save like that.  Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.
As a side, your Aeroclub D.1 looks excellent, I really like how the seasonal (fall?) camouflage turned out.  Applied with a sponge?

Take care

Good work on the lozenge Tim, you made a great job of the fuselage. Also a nice save on the national markings. This will be very striking when it's finished.

Thanks Scott,
I honestly don?t remember what technique I used on the cammo pattern. It was either a sponge or cut down bristle brush. I?ve used both techniques in the past.

Looks absolutely superb.
