Great work - loving the patina and distressing, just enough. Fantastic.

Absolutely first rate work so far, Flip, just like your Pup.  The cockpit painting is brilliant and the wing shading is perfect.  Excellent job on the engine, as well.
Cheers,
Bud

Beautiful and convincing work Flip!  Your wood and leather tones--heck, ALL of your colors--look first rate.  Well done!

Inspiring Flip! That looks absolutely stunning. What did you use for the green/brown PC10? Keep up the good work my friend, and don't forget to bring it to Geel after the summer so we can compare notes! Cheers, Jeroen

Thx for the kind words Gentlemen :-)

@Jeroen:  I mixed up a color myself for this one. I have used Gunze RLM81, brown violet (which is actually green) and Gunze dark yellow (which has a green hue)
To achieve the color variations, I'm using filters of oil paints (light green, naples yellow, etc etc)

 I hope to finish this one before our show in september. Will you come to the club in august? Looking fwd to see your SE5a in RL as well :-)

All the best

Flip
