Many thanks, Zabu for all these details and explanations. I do not have the Osprey book - these are all valuable pieces of information. Well, I will surely add the blip switch. But as for the dashboard layout and that wooden support for Lewis, I will stay with what WNW suggest for 32 Sqn modification.

Thank you, Gregory and Patrick for your kind words.

In the meantime I have prepared the main parts (except for the tail) for painting. The ailerons are glued to the wings, the struts are cleaned from flash, and most importantly - all the rigging points are fitted with Bob von Buckle's eyelets - each checked by a pull-out test to avoid nasty surprises when rigging. For those who did not read my build log on Fee - I do it by passing a bit of fishing line through each eyelet and trying to pull it from its hole. Simple as it is, it is worth to check it now, when access to the holes is almost unlimited.
Generally, nothing worthy taking photos - I will show some pictures when parts get colours. :D

Beautiful work on the Airco, Prze.  The Lewis gun looks very good.  Thanks
for the tip on the "pull-out test".  That is a very helpful thing to remember.
Looking forward to the next episode, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thank you, Ernie. But the Lewis gun you mention cannot be mine - I have not showed mine, yet. It is still safely on the sprue ;)

 :-[ Apologies Prze...I really should read better! ;)  Knowing you though, when you do
get to the Lewis gun, it will be flawless. :D

Hello Prez:

Thanks for the pre-pull of eyelet idea.  On each model I have at least one pesky eyelet that wants to pull out.  I will try this simple test on my next one.  Great idea!

Best

Paint works started. CDL on and shaded. For the wings I have opted for opaque PC10 on the top sides, so no see-through effect - just rib shading. The nacelle sides will get some wash later to emphasize lacing and wrinkled linen.





What you see up there was already masked and layer of PC10 on the wings uppersides applied. Photos will follow after they are shaded.

Looking mighty fine indeed, Prze! The CDL is perfect; what did you use or is it your own formula?
Cheers,
Lance

Gorgeous, just gorgeous PrzemoL! Once that CDL starts to go on, I'm in seventh heaven.

Best wishes

Prze, as usual that's stunning work, mate.

Just one question- how many models are you building, if you need Bob von Bucklemäker to send an entire ship full of buckles?  Or does the kit need that many?

Dal- really impressed.

Bloody favouritism, Lance, that what it is.  Yer know what those Poms are like when it comes to us Colonials. :D
