Your paintwork is superb, Hristo!  Not much else to say that
hasn't been already except this is a wonderfully enjoyable
build to follow.  Amazing work! :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hello everyone
After a long pause, I resumed work on the diorama and that's what I did.
I started working on the hangar and some items of furniture such as tables, ladders and stands.
Used in their manufacture natural veneer of linden some balsa sheets and various sizes profils of pine timber.
I chose natural wood because I saw the easy option than trying to imitate wood in such small dislocated objects.
The dimensions on the hangar I interpolated from the photos, and I hope to be close to the truth.

Here are photos:









The next step that I think to do is to dye them with wood stain and a little oil wash where necessary.

Best Regards
Hristo

Fantastic multibuild Hristo, it's really interesting, and you are keeping such a high quality standard on each of the 4 planes, For the neatness and accuracy of the details they look like 48th or larger scale kits...

The detailing and painting on the engine is particularly impressive! Wow.
Same for your scratchbuilding of all this wooden stuff.

As for shading the ribs,  did you try masking the ribs with thin tape stripes and applying a slightly darker overcoat?

This technique is known to me, but I don't use an airbrush, I work with brush and therefore decided to ask for a trick that can help me. Otherwise, thanks for the advice. Also I think to try the technique that you use with the help of the decal shaded when resume work on "Black Beauty"

I don't know if this will help but if using Aviattic Lozenge you can use artists oils to outline/highlight the ribs. If doing camo I am not sure of the solution.

Fantastic work on all four aircraft, the black is my favorite, you have done a superb job with the painting. The work you have done so far on your hangar is amazing, I'm really looking forward to seeing this diorama all come together.

Great work on the hangar and the interior details, Hristo! It's a very nice way to showcase your Albies, and a great advantage of working in 1:72 scale. I'm looking forward to seeing this painted with your dyes and oils.
