Roden's SE in the oft modeled/illustrated markings of Captain G H Lewis' D3540 "The Artful Dodger". I used an old Aviprint sheet for the squadron markings and numbers, the roundels & fin stripes came from Pheon and the Artful Dodger nameplate printed off my computer in the smallest font.
I used some of the P.E. from Part, but like most of Part's etch I find that there's a lot that I don't need and a lot I could do with that's not included.
References from the usual sources Windsock, Osprey and the like, but for sheer wealth of detail you can't beat Jamo's photos of the TVAL replica. There's stuff there no manufacturer has ever put in their kits, and that includes WNW.
As for references specific to this a/c, the photo of D3540 with Lewis sitting in the cockpit is reproduced in dozens of WW1 books but the only other view I could find was in Lewis' book "Wings Over the Somme".
Last but not least I must mention Windsock vol.28, no.4 where Lance Krieg shows us what can
really be done with this kit.
Two "progress pics" the cockpit,
and this showing my attempts to simulate wrinkles on the fuselage sides and a thicker cockpit coaming using milliput and the icing-on-the-cake for me in this build HGW's decal rib tapes:
Thanks for looking.
