Slow progress this week as I've been out and about. The Aviattic lozenge decals are superb to work with if a little confusing on the eye but I guess that's the purpose of them ;D

Thanks Bud. I now have the exciting job off putting on rib tapes. I got some from Old Propeller that are the right scale but look odd on top of the lozenge

Ribbing now on. That was a interesting character building episode. Still I  learnt a lot for the next time I do it.



I assume ribbing is on the underside as well?

Doing the underside of the top wing and I think it's best to do it in segments to aid cutting and positioning.



The wrinkled look is because I just put them on whilst the other side has dried and been trimmed.

Probably a wise move to do it in bits. I did do the part around the radiator from a single bolt by using a piece of masking tape as a template.
Miraculously it fitted quite well after only 2 tries!
Looks good, I really love the colours of the Aviattic Lozenge :)

Now that I'm looking again, is it applied spanwise on the upper wing bottom? I did my 1/72 version in up-and-down bolts. I must admit I'm probably a bit cross-eyed after doing mine, however!

Curses. You are correct. I was going by the underside of the lower wing and I assumed it would be the same for the underside of the top wing. I just checked with another DV kit I have and it is as you say. Thanks for the heads up. Oh well more business for Aviattic. ::)
