That is an amazing machine gun and to know it is completely hand made makes it even better, you are a very talented craftsman.

Thanks all for the encouragement...!!

Now appreciate an opinion from you all about the following;
Attached photo of the right lower wing which I made 10 years ago.
It is now covered with lozenge "heat shrinking" linnen, custom made for me by Arizona Model Aircrafters .http://www.arizonamodels.com/
The decal sheet is kindly produced by Richard from Aviaticc, factory fresh lozenge.( on request made to 1/16th scale)
Personnaly I like the bright "new" colors of the decal sheet.

Opinions please..??!!
( the light and photo does not do justice to the colors shown, I should make a daylight photo...it is night here..!!)

I Love the Aviattic Lozenge! Use your usual skills and pre / post shade and it will be perfect. JMHO. The covering looks a little too subdued to me. Again JMHO,

Aviattic is much better looking colorwise. I would change to that
