Hi Dave,

A really nice start to this model, the black and white pin up is a nice touch in the observers office.

Best Regards

Keith

ITS ALL IN THE DETAIL. PLUS ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO INCORPORATE.
THEN COMES ALL THE RIGGING, BUT THAT IS LATER ON IN THE GAME.
I HAVE MADE ALL MY TURNBUCKLES AND LITTLE BRACKETS, READY TO GO.
THE LITTLE DETAILS MAKE THE BUILD JUST THAT WEE BIT MORE FUN.

Outstanding details, Dave.  The French post card is an especially nice touch.
Cheers,

A couple of pics, although not too flash, to show the sheen on the wings,
darkened ribs and flying wire eyelets. Something more interesting to follow.

Many thanks. There's always the big debate about 'How shiny?'
WW1 aircraft surfaces were. New . . Yes . . . . A few weeks old
(if they made it that far)? A bit of a sheen . . . And so on.
I like the mid-ground . . . Sheen with a bit of dirt here and there.
