That's a beautiful "transitional aircraft," from wood and fabric to stressed metal skin and tubular frame. Very nicely done so far, Gary. Continue as you began and you'll have a first rate model on your hands!  8)
Cheers!

Do you paint with airbrush or glue it all together and paint then with brush?

Cheers,
Frank

I try to AB as much as I can before comitting to cement. Some parts need a brush obviously.

Office is complete. Aside from Ezi-Line, everything is as per kit expect for the spark control lever which I had to scratch build as the origimal went flying out of the tweezers into oblivion  :o

Thanks guys.

Fuselage interior gets a coat of flat aluminium and a light wash....



... before they are cemented together....





At the stage, the fuselage halves are just cemented to each other, not to the undersides. I'm waiting for the cement to cure overnight first as it will need some minor clamping to get the parts to sit together correctly - especially at the trailing edges of the wing roots.
