Thanks, Guys!  I did a bit of CDLing...I still need to do some work on it with pastels and maybe some washes...but I put on the wing decals.



These are still drying (as you can see) and I hope they conform nicely.  Seems like they will!

There is just something about those early crosses on huge white fields that shouts "victory!".  ;D

More on the fuselage next time,

Dan

Thanks Des and Rick...this one is so fun to put together and so quick, I agree.  Instant gratification.  I just can't figure out why I don't see many WNW at shows.  I guess folks are just scared of anything other than an F-16, Mustang or Messerschmitt! 

Here are some more shots just to show I made headway.  Mind you, the parts are just friction-fit together...no glue on the wings, movable surfaces etc.  Just trying to get a feel for the look.  I like it!  I sprayed the basic scheme.  No detail yet or weathering etc.  You can even see some things needing fixes but man-oh-man...I like the contrast in colors and the sit is just lovely.  I've always been a Roland fan and now even more so!  Puts my Airfix 1/72nd job to shame.  ;)








As with all my stuff, it's nobody's plane but if I was there in 1916, it would be mine. 

Even my wife thinks it's pretty!  More soon...

Very nice work! The contrast between the blu/grey fuselage and CDL wings is terrific. The pace of your build is amazing, it takes me longer than this to pull the parts out of the box  :-[

Wow, Dan!  That was quick!  Didn't even get a chance to comment on the beautiful interior before you got the whole thing together.  I agree with Rick.  Love the CDL wings.
Cheers,
Bud

She is a gorgeous looking model Dan, the colours are very well matched which makes for a very attractive scheme.

Cracking build, Dan!
The CDL/pale blue combo works a treat.  ;)

Good luck with the weathering.

Lovely build Dan, as you have said the WnW models just fall together, precision engineering in plastic.

Cheers
