You are making great progress Robert, the interior and the engine are excellent, and you fuselage wood is starting to take shape nicely, good luck with your wood grain.

I painted the fuselage planking, don't know how good it looks but it's gonna have to do. I tried to keep the wood grain very fine so it looks to scale, unfortunately it's hard to see.  I used artist oils  burnt sienna, yellow ochre, white, and cad. yellow for the different shades. Applied with a very small stiff artist brush.

Also started on the painting and decals.

Some of the photos aren't too great but it gives an idea of what everything looks like.



Crap.....looks like photobucket didn't get all my uploads, I'll try again later.

Robert,

Like the others, I think your wood turned out beautifully.  You clearly have a deft touch, and the effect is very convincing.

A little more progress. 

Using Aviattic tailored faded lozenge decals,  with linen rib tape.  First time I have used the Aviattic decals and they are superb.  They fit perfectly, go on easily and look great. They even have a fabric texture look with is impressive. 

I'm also using Gaspatch turnbuckles for the first time. I think they are going to look great when I'm finished.

At least two things will be first class on my Roland, don't know aout the rest. 

I also rigged the rudder and elevator, and installed some turnbuckles on the fuselage.

Great progress, Robert!  Your woodgrain is really well done and the
lozenge is totally convincing.  Well done!

Cheers,
Ernie :)
