Hello Kreston!!!

Magnificent looking build!!! I'm not sure what I prefer Gaspatch vs. Master :D I think I like the jacket from Master better but I like Gaspatch body :D First world problem I know ;) I only have Vickers and Lewis from Gaspatch now... guess I will try the others soon - hopefully :)

Happy modelling

After some sanding, cutting, and scraping I managed to get the cowlings to fit.  More of an issue than I thought it would be.  Still have to add some oil washes and paint to get the details to pop.

very nice work. Strange to hear of fit issues with a WNW kit?

Thanks for the comments!  The Aviattic lozenge is just great to work with...highly recommended!

Tail is in place but still needs another wash or two with Indigo oil paint, followed by a spray of glosscote, to match the fuselage.  I am using GasPatch turnbuckles for the first time and you can see one of the first four I have in place.

A couple of pics at the workbench showing off Aviattic's wonderful lozenge.

Outstanding work on the painting and lozenge application, Kreston!  She's really looking sharp.  By the way, where did you get that jig?
Cheers,
Bud
