Great update Des!  The tail looks terrific.  Is the stitching a PE addition, or a Des special?
Can't wait for the next update, my friend.  What a great build!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Outstanding, Does,!
I especially like the shade of CDL that you used, is it a decal or some paint?

My many thanks to Bud, Martin, Ernie, Verbeek and Ermeio for your very kind comments.

Ernie, For the stitching I used Archer Resin Decals. It came from set No. AR88004 - Resin WW1 Stitching 1:32 and 1:48 scale. They are a great product, you apply then just like any other decal but they have the raised resin stitching, I have since painted over my stitching so the black does not stand out as much.

Ermeio, I used paint for the CDL look. I used a mix of Gunze Sail Color H85 and Gunze H1 White, no particular mixing ration just until I thought it looked right, I sprayed the paint with my air brush.

Spectacular Des! You scratch build to such beautiful standards, in a short time frame, and I struggle to assemble and paint a kit  ;D
You are just an awesome Master Modeler!

Sorry Des but I have been away - as usual my jaw is aching from hitting the desk every time I look at the pictures of your builds. Inspirational is an understatement…...

Humbling, Des, pure and simple...it's as though you were born to it...which is pretty much the definition of an artist. True story.                    -M

Thanks very much Lukas, Ed and Doug for your very kind comments.

Lukas, the Archer resin stitching is an excellent product, very easy to use and it looks good. Have a look here, this is a review I did some time ago;
