You have done a superb job with the fuselage wood decals, they look very realistic and the clear orange finishes it off nicely.

Dear me, this is spectacular. Fine engine, real-like wood on the fuselage and inside. I will be watching this with great interest!

I thought I had this kit but evidently I dont. Really wish I did as you have stirred my interest. I really love the wood work. Will have to try that I think. You have such gorgeous tones of wood. Neat idea with the Aber ammo. I'll have to look for some. Really enjoying watching this build.

Truly sensational work, Dol!  Your wood grain, especially, is superb.
Cheers,

Hi Dol,

like your Engine and your wood-work on the fuselage.
Very well done  ;)

Here is a funny story with a part from the wood-Decals by Uschi.
Alex Glass - this is the person behind the Brand name Uschi -, lives only about 45 - 50 minutes away from me.
Alex is an excellent good modeller.
About five years ago, he won a number of first and second prizes with his LVG.
He painted the wood grain with Valejo colors on his model. Grain for grain - a very demanding job.
One day - many years ago - he came on the idea to make this grain as decals, he wanted to make life easier for us modelbuilder  ;)
We sent a few emails back and forth.
I sent him a lot of pictures of plywood grain of some plywood veneer sheets, which I had lying around.
These pictures - and of course plywood pictures from others -, used Alex as a template for his top wood-decals.
Well, a part of this grain of my plywood, you can find now on your model  ;D
