Truly gorgeous, Guy!  Your finish is superb.  It's the fragility of these early kites that gives them their charm.
Cheers,

Thanks all..  ;)

Apologies, I had a bit of an issue with the photos - but restored now.

Yes, Bud that's the look I love too - fragile! You have to take your hat off to the chaps flying them!

In fact, if you literally just blow on the model, it rocks and sways in the breeze!

Missed this yesterday  ::)

What a superb result Guy - absolutely convincing.  We all have fluffy edges but it's only the owner that usually knows they're there  :(

Good luck with the Hanover

Wow Guy - it turned out fantastic. Well done in so many aspects. I can't get over how good the woodgrain and CDL turned out. Beautifully photographed too. I'll be looking at your pictures a lot!
Best regards,

Thanks chaps  ;)

I'd really give the Uschi decals a go Gary if you haven't already done so - they blow the kit decals out of the water...

Thanks

Really nice work on the Albie ,Guy.

The finish looks spot on, you have captured the look of the aircraft completely.

Fantastic job.
