Good to see this one progressing Rick. The BE 2 was such an important type in the early war years that it should be represented in this GB by someone!

Nice linen effects Rick. I also like the light blue roundels.

Coming along nicely now. Good to see a full linen version being built (there are some fabulous early schemes which are very tempting)

Thanks Tim. Not exactly what I envisioned but it's OK. As for the roundel color, it'sOOB  ;D

Thanks Paul. I am sure there are plenty of schemes out there. In this case Airfix made the choice  8)

Sorry Rick, I was being sincere about my liking the blue coloring.  Up until sometime in 1915 the British used the designated VB1 color for the outer blue color. It was changed to a darker hue due (VB2) to rapid fading and poor adhesion to the fabric surface. I plan on using the kit decals on my future build as well.

I actually wasn't offended and had No intention of being defensive. I was merely pointing out that I had no part in it being the correct shade  ;D
