Wonderful models both. I am still bowled over by the F1 streaking. Really looking forward to seeing both completed.

I'm very sorry to learn of the accident that befell MvR's triplane, but I'm very pleased to see progress on the other two!

Forgive my ignorance if it was mentioned earlier: what did you do for the oil streaking on the F.I? I have a Pup I'd love to give that treatment but have no idea how to do it.

yes - sorry to hear the MvR Tripe is shelved - maybe it just needs a time out for some months then you can jump back on it to revive it....

The other two builds are fantastic - great to see them wrapped up and ready for display!

So I have pretty much finished the F1 and SE5a. I decided to go back and try to fix 425/17. I sanded and repainted and now have sanded again. Most of the glitches from the paint mishap are gone and I have re glued the strut and elevator knocked off in the accident. I have done some work on painting the engine. Now to re paint the model and add some detail to the motor !

I cross my fingers for the repair, Rick. But I am sure you'll manage to turn her into a real stunner.
