It's a good way to learn by making mistakes sometimes 

A bit sooner than planned, but started the masking process again....



More of an acute angle which also results in fewer stripes. Better reflects the actual thing now!

Well I msut say I have never stripped a Model due to not paying attention to photos...NOT! Been there Done that as the saying goes. I Loved your first effort and this newer version is looking even better!

Me too. Hats off for the courage and the extra work to remove a great paint job for making it more conform with the original pictures.

Thank you gentlemen. It was a little frustrating at the time, but glad I made the decision I did.

Rudder is fixed in place and control lines added along with lower grab hadles. A little tidying up of paint was followed by the 'E.I' markings. Couldn't find and letters the size required so ended up modifying some left overs from an E.II kit. Radiator is finished using metal pigments - yet to add the brass 'cap'...

The second result looks great.

Thanks for the feedback. That colour is nce, but my gut feeling is either red or grey for this 'craft. I'm leaning towards red at this stage....

Radiator is complete - brass rod and tube...





Working on the elevators now - waiting for paint to dry before apply Aviattic decals to the undersides with grey on top.

Wonderful work. Your move to change the stripes was the right one (without me knowing the correct scheme..) The whole fuselage looks more dynamic and correct for that compared to your first go. Bravo - this is turning into an amazing model of an unusual variant of a great float plane. I have the W.12 in my stash - up next in my build list - and would love to know if it had such a variant...?

Cheers

Very impressive paint work, Gary!  Equally impressive is your courage in stripping it all down and starting over.
Cheers,

Looks awesome on the floats. Nice looking engine as well! Impressive looking bird to say the least.

Thanks guys.

Tailplane in place. Linen undesides are done using Aviattic dark linen (clear). Pre-shading was done by mixing Tamiya Smoke and Clear Yellow...

After adding the radiator support struts, the next job was to turn this exhaust....



... into this....

Amazing transformation!

[Borsos]

This build develops incredibly pretty. The exhaust looks great as do the flying surfaces. Smoke mixed with clear yellow -- I'll try that out as well for ribshading.
