Last step...

my engines were damaged I repared them:



Then cowling and decal fixed:



oil evacuations:



propeelrs are painted trying to represent tonkilaque tipical french brown redish varnish
Those props are Chauvière, meanwhile CSM propose Gremont props



they go to their places



time to compare model with original pictures




At last the machine guns. The picture show the plane unarmed because pilotes had their own MG and always take it off..
i imagine a quite characteristic configuraiton with a colt MG and a Lewis one...




Machines guns had no ammo in the pics, they only armed them for war missions





burt I decide to represent them






Lewis is a Gaspatch (very nice)
Colt can't be founf in the market, they have been done join to propelers and decal, by Kajetan Schulz.
he is a polish artisan, works very well and speak english.

Beautifully detailed and painted. The markings are very colorful also! The MGs look great in place.
