Thanks for your kind comments everyone.
Airbrushing in the air conditioned and low humidity of this region makes it the easiest place to airbrush.
The paint goes on very smoothly and dries very quickly...no need for a moisture trap in the airline to your airbrush here!
This build has been ongoing for some eight months now.
It is now essentially complete apart from the rigging.
Unfortunately I have broken the last of my 0.3 mm drill bits which has stalled rigging work until another home-run to pick up a replacement.
Also waiting back home, is a fabulous Reschke wooden propeller by Doug Cramer which should add the finishing touch to a very enjoyable model to build.
The kit has been very well engineered and is surprisingly robust once all of the struts are in place.
Only "non standard" mod I have made is to add a "no shoot propeller off" bar, just in front of the pilot, above the center wing, as per the contemporary photograph shown in the WNW instruction book.
Now if WNW can come up with a Roland CL.II and a Halberstadt CL.II, then my WW1 projects will be taken care of for another year.
