Can't see anything wrong with this one, Dave -

Looks great from where I'm looking.

I wholly agree with Dave (Epeeman) - I cannot see anything to fault. The oil stains under the wings look completely realistic as does the mud on the wheels.

Thanks fellas. The build was good but I'm fed up with alclad Matt varnish never properly drying. Tacky.....
Next time I'll rig it after future and try a different final coat, as the alclad is sticky after 3 weeks.

I quite like the RAL Schokeladenbrun as a PC12. It's just a bit of a dull scheme for my tastes, after the Alby and Pup trainer....

Hence the next one is the lobster!

She's truly stunning, Dave!  Your choice of PC10 is perfect.  Great kit, ain't it?
Cheers,
Bud

Very Nice, Ditto on Rick's comments on the oil staining.  A few years ago while at OTF in Monterey, we saw a real Camel in flight and what it looked like immediately after landing.

 Dave,
Now that's one sad site my old friend. Never liked seeing an aircraft of any type down,but a Sopwith Tripe that's just awful. I hope her pilot is in good shape.
Highest Regards,
