Nice choice RAGIII, I've seen a lot built straight from the box that look good.

A surprisingly wide number of differences in the usual Linen or PC10 schemes (I rather like the early ones with roundels painted on the tailplanes presumably because they were easy to reach)

Thanks Paul, Przemo, and Nigel. I have begun work on the interior painting. Someone challenged Me to use the supplied paints so I have done so on the interior. I did add Oil washes  8) Looks a bit messy but when all is done should be OK for what is seen!

Really nice to see you building a real aeroplane again Rick. I always wanted to build one of these in my former modelling incarnation, but there were no kits available at the time. Too late now as I only scratch build, but I will enjoy watching you build yours.

Thanks folks! It's been a while but I did make some Very slight progress. Some semblance of see through is done on the wings. I am now ready to finish the interior.

That's looking very nice Rick, just enough show through IMO. Keen to see this come together....
